I’ve decided the next time I have money, I’ll take the JLPT N5 exams held at the capital. or learn it anyway I can
my problem right now is I don’t know how to write in Japanese (as in what are the correct sequences of writing a word), I have a very limited knowledge over Japanese words and nouns and I’ve yet to completely understand how the Japanese Grammar works.
I have Genki books but do you have other recommendations for me? especially about how to correctly write a japanese word.

Tae Kim’s guide is recommended because it has a lots of beginner stuff from zero, especially to help you get started. There’s a lot of apps (Personally I don’t use textbooks, it’s a lot of problems for me to even buy one) so basically internet. You could check also renshuu, there’s both vocab, grammar and a lot of other nice things.
For stroke order on Kanji, I use Jisho.org
>how to correctly write a japanese word.
If you truly mean just the words, then you can use jisho.org as a resource for writing the kanji by looking up a word and then clicking on details to see an animation and step-by-step diagram of how the kanji is written. Incidentally, jisho (辞書) means dictionary, so can you can look up definitions by typing in the english word or by radical.
As far as writing sentences, Japanese is written with the verb at the end of sentences. There are particles that get attached to the end of most words in the sentence and then you just string together these word-particle combinations with the conjugated verb at the end and then you have a sentence. The best visualization of this concept can be found at [80/20 Japanese](https://8020japanese.com/grammar-cheat-sheet/).
The the app “imiwa?”
It’s free, can be used offline, and has everything you’d ever need in a dictionary. It’s so good that it makes me question dictionary apps for other languages
