I am a novice to the Japanese language, and this question might have some opinion-based answers but I could use some advice.
Should I learn to speak some basic words and sentences up to a level where I can have a sensible conversation with a person and then start on reading and writing (Like a child learns a language), or should I dive into both simultaneously — speaking and writing — considering an adult can handle both at once.
I'm learning Japanese as a hobby (on my own) and don't have any time limitations. All help is appreciated!
Arigatto.
