Jgrpg Sakura - Japanese graded reading material. You need to create an account first though

Watanoc - Web magazine aimed at language learners in easy japanese. N5-N3. Contains audio, pictures and you can hover over unknown words to reveal the meaning.

Soseki Product - This website is dedicated to the works of Natsume Sōseki and it's also aimed at language learners so there's furigana, audio and translation. These novels are from the 1900s so it might be a bit difficult but I think it's really fun

Bunsuke - Contains excerpts from books with translations and vocabulary lists. Also has links to the books used. Made by a fellow language learner :)

Ehon - Picture books aimed for 0-6 year olds. Doesn't seem to contain kanji. Some books contain audio

Lingual ninja - This website is for learning hiragana/katakana/grammar/vocab/kanji but it also has a folktales section that contains audio, vocab lists and optional furigana. There's also youtube videos of each story available

yomou syosetu - Over a million free novels! I believe a lot of it is user-submitted works

Syosetsu - Similar to the above.

Apps

Todaii - Aimed at language learners. News with furigana and pop up dictionary.

Satori Reader - Paid

Yomu Yomu - First 3 chapters are free on edit: some stories!

1. memorize hiragana and katakana

2. search kanji meant for elementary schoolers (also just overall language content meant for children, it's easier to understand if you're a beginner). write them down in a notebook; watch out on the stroke order, usually websites like kanjisearch provide the correct order of strokes for easier writing.

3. learn basic grammar, like suffixes and sentence-building. treat all the three alphabets like toy cube blocks. the word order directly affects the meaning, so don't be shy to paste the sentence you wrote into translator to spot mistakes.

4. websites and other extensions

browser japanese keyboard

microsoft ime (in case you want to type in japanese directly on the computer)

site with handwritten kanji search

reddit tutorial for setting up a japanese dictionary extension right into browser

yomiwa (smartphone app , dictionary with random kanji everyday)

みんなの日本語 (minna no nihongo) nice notebooks for learners

various youtube videos about the grammar.

personal tip: when learning kanji, remember that these are words. you know, when in english we create words out of letters, the chinese crafted words out of stroke combinations (which the japanese later stole). so please tie your own association of meaning to each one, would be much easier to memorize them.

5. other
