  Use an alternative means to study Kanji, use this website to review/expand. To effectively learn Kanji, you have to get into a bit more detail. You can turn Kanji off in practice too.
  
  To start from scratch. quickly get familiar with reading and writing Hiragana and Katakana. Then you want to start learning basic nouns, verbs, and adjectives (isu = chair, hashiru = run, aka(i) = red, etc). Familiarise yourself with the copula "desu" and the particles ha/wa, ga, wo, ni, he and so on.
  Start studying the most simple grammar and conjugations e.g. "this is a blue table..." "this is your pen", also learn te-form and verb conjugations (past, present, negative etc.).
  
  Then keep increasing your knowledge on each subject, start fitting it together. Use websites, books, anything you can find to cram it into your head.
  
  It's easy to forget what learning Japanese was like in the very beginning, I listened to audio lessons (Pimsleur) and watched "Japanese basic: I am Yan" on Youtube.
  There is no right or wrong way, the most efficient way is just to keep moving forward, even if the method is not the most effective one.
  Study Kanji when you can or when you want. Ideally, get your feet a little wet first before jumping on the Kanji train, because that will never end.
  
  Opinion only ^^
