Japan come

I've applied for a scholarship in japan and i'm almost in, they''ll teach basic Japanese before I get there, but I wanna get a headstart on it.
Where can I start learning, any sources?

konnichiwa watashi name is hana, watashi suki watching valorant

Watch anime

To be honest, i have no clue. But i started with learning Hiragana, that would probably be nice to learn for starters on duolingo. But I'm inexperience so i dont think ill be much of a help

I learnt japanese from anime like arigatogozaithanks, itarawait and my favourite daijobuareyou??

honestly talking with japanese people is the best and only way. clueless vlr users will say watch anime but it is not a good way, because how we speak generally is very different from anime

It's better to learn hiragana and katakana first. You can look for them in Google or just search YouTube. Along with learning that, you can try to memorize some easy words or even phrases. Things will be much easier when you know how to write or read first in hiragana/katakana, no need to dwell with kanji for now.

All the answers here are terrible. I suggest you look into r/LearnJapanese they have tons of resources.

A few things to keep in mind—
Some guy above said watching anime is a bad way to learn Japanese, which is what people who barely know Japanese always love to parrot. Go watch Matt vs Japan's video.

Kids in Japan grow up watching Doraemon, Shin-chan and other anime like those. Those anime also have exaggerated voice. Does it mean that they are learning wrong Japanese? No.
The goal is not to imitate how they talk. The goal is to understand what they're saying. Familiarizing yourself with the words.

Watch tons of anime, listen to Japanese music, try to watch J-drama, and although it might be a bit difficult for you now but try to follow Japanese news channels because they often speak what most people would call proper Japanese. Change all of your settings to Japanese and try to settle in the Japanese side of the internet (mixi, niconico, news site comment sections, especially 5ch but I would not recommend it because the Japanese they speak is very weird and you will not be able to understand it no matter what you do right now).

And of course, the basics are also important. Hopefully, you have already completed Hiragana and Katakana. If so, then try learning as many radicals as you can before blindly jumping into memorizing Kanji. Understand the grammar first (like Japanese is a SOV language). The cultural nuances and pitch tones (way too advanced stuff) comes later.

Don't ignore writing. You might think that writing is unnecessary since most resources are available online and you can just learn online. I and everyone I know who speaks good English learned was through writing. Writing is one of the best ways to memorize stuff and learn languages.

Keep in mind that the goal is to not to translate Japanese to your language in your head. It's to learn Japanese as a proper language. If you don't understand a meaning of a character, look up what it means in Japanese, not in English.

Congrats on the scholarship. I did not even know they gave those anymore.
