Good to hear you’re making an effort to learn japanese! It’s a lot of work, but definitely worth it.
One of the best free guides i’ve seen on the internet for self-teaching is Tae Kim’s Guide to Japanese, which you can find here: http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/
With Kanji, there’s plenty of ways you can go about this. You might just look up and write down kanji you see as you read, you can study through the kanji you’re expected to know for the JLPT, plus there’s dozens of websites with stuff like flashcards and exercises to help you along. One of my personal favourite is kanjidamage.com , which teaches kanji mainly by learning radicals, but it’s all very organised and easy to follow.
I hope you can put some of this information to use. Keep on studying!
