Personally, from experience the best way to learn a new language is to take a class, its better for it to be structured. Where I live there is a tutor who offers classes in Japanese, so, you might see what's around you.

Also, I feel translation isn't as much of a problem as grammar is. You could work with scan groups and offer help with grammar and vocabulary, that would help them and let your learn the language better.
