Here is what I have done so far.
-Learn Hiragana/Katakana
-Learn 2055 kanji from Heisig method!
-While doing both of the above, listen to Japanese music, or have Japanese TV in the background, etc.
Now here is what I am doing now.
-Reading the book, Japanese the Manga Way, for reference.
-Read various manga, Japanese literature, and short stories.
-Words I don't know I just look them up and find good example sentences that I like.
-I play a lot of Japanese videogames. I have a Japanese PS2 and my Nintendo DS. All my games are Japanese. ( I sold my English games to get money to buy the Japanese versions)
-Listen to Japanese music, TV, podcasts, etc.
