Let's be very clear.

You have asked a question.

You got an answer. It wasn't the one you wanted, but it was an answer!

Now, can you listen to the answer?

The answer is to build something yourself, no matter how small. Choose  
one thing you're interested in, and don't follow others.

If you are really interested in learning from people more senior to  
you, take Michael Klishin's advice, and TRY TO BUILD SOMETHING VERY  
SMALL YOURSELF AND ASK QUESTIONS WHEN YOU GET STUCK.

This is, quite honestly, the best advice anyone could give you.

If you want to learn Japanese, you can do courses, and you can ask  
people (in English) how to talk in Japanese, but it's not going to  
help you one WHIT at actually having functional skill in the language.

To learn the language, you have to TRY TO USE IT.

It may SEEM hard, but it's not. Set yourself a VERY small goal and try  
to accomplish it.

Now, perhaps, the questions you're having trouble with is where to  
begin. Well and good, but you need some REAL PROBLEM - some real need  
of YOUR OWN to drive this endeavour for yourself.
