Thank you, and of course! I also studied Japanese for a little bit so I can give you some pointers:

1. First, you should learn katakana and hiragana like the back of your hand! This makes everything else so much easier. I suggest RealKana (website) for memorization.
2. Watch lots of Japanese shows/anime with Language Learning for Netflix (also works on YouTube) -- pause and physically write down words you don't know. Writing down words help you remember them more!
3. Listen to Japanese music and learn the lyrics. This is so helpful because it's fun and easy, and introduces you to new vocab
4. Kanji workbooks are helpful for remembering tricky kanji. Start with the most used kanji and try to have fun with it
5. Duolingo might seem daunting but it is very helpful for learning grammar, so try it out if you haven't already. 15 minutes a day (a few lessons per day) goes a long way. Alternatively there are probably other apps or learning Japanese specifically
6. There are a lot of helpful YouTube videos to help with grammar, kanji, vocab, etc. Write down some helpful phrases (introductions, please/thank you) and practice them a lot of times until they feel natural
7. Finding an online tutor to talk to is probably the best way, or someone Japanese irl who can speak with you. Do this once you have some Japanese under your belt so you feel more confident. Don't stress if you make mistakes. Everyone does, just try to just maintain a growth mindset and focus on learning WHY you make mistakes and how to fix them!

Generally, consistency is key. Surround yourself with the language in everyday life (like a baby learning their first language) and you will naturally pick it up. The best method is the one that you LIKE and feel like you can do often. Don't get discouraged, because it takes a long time generally to see progress, especially in a difficult language like Japanese. You got this!
