Also, if there's anyone out there who can let me know of any other free resources that have helped them out that would be great too. I've been looking around on tofugu.com and they have helped me learn hiragana so I now know all of them (going to be using that website to study katakana too). Since I own an iphone I've been finding free apps for that too. I have memrise, HJ lite, Tae Kim's learning japanese and imiwa. So far I've only really fully tried out memrise but have started trying out the others but not sure what I think of them so far. Oh, I also have Anki on my laptop too which I still need to find/make decks for. so if anyone has any links to any of them too that'd be highly appreciated.
I'm looking forward to meeting new people on here and maybe find people on here that I get on well enough with to become "study buddies" with. Although I feel like that won't be happening until I know at least some simple conversations. I'm sure I'll get there eventually.
