As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, try typing using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Japanese out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.
