An adult language learner should start all the languages the same way - learn orthography and pronunciation at the same time.

Interesting website to start learning languages on your own. Good luck !

Definitely, I would start speaking and listening and... repeat, repeat and repeat.

Try to study key tenses to speak about basic topics, for example:

- Introduce yourself:

Me llamo___

Tengo _____ años

Soy de ___

Vivo en ____

Estudio español porque ____

etc...

After that, I'd start with daily routines, descriptions, hobbies, etc.

If you want to study grammar the first step is present form.

I use this system with my Spanish students and works pretty good.

Some resources:

Studying: I recommend you flashcards, some platform like anki or quizlet are good. I love them.

Listening: I recommend you www.podcastfromspain.com

Speaking: you can try to find some language partners or you can try to book some conversational lesson with community tutors or professional tutor here, on Italki.
