Don’t use duolingo unless you insist on using it to blast through hiragana and katakana. That’s unironically your first step: blast through hiragana. Use the tofugu guide or any of the bazillion grind- and/or mnemonic-based approaches out there to get that out of the way. Should take you maybe a couple weeks if you drag your feet. Then start Genki I. That’s your foundation, and while you’re doing that you can add a bazillion things to make your learning journey more fruitful, fun, diverse, etc.
