Default Learning Japanese

I’m in the process of trying to learn Japanese. I may eventually take a class but for the time being I’m trying to teach myself some stuff so I can get a bit up to speed. I have spent the last few weeks practicing Hirigana both writing it out and using apps on my phone and that seems to be going pretty well. I've also been watching Japanese shows and reading the subtitles to hear the language spoken and pick up some words.

I’m at the point where now that I'm getting the hang of Hirigana (I haven’t looked at Katakana or Kanji yet) that I want to build up my vocabulary and start working on more words and phrases.

For those that have learned Japanese, did you find it easier to learn the vocabulary as English translation to Symbols or easier to go from English translation to Romanji to Symbols?
