I'd like to have books to study out of and maybe some types of slideshows. Something with a clear outline of the path ahead would be nice.

Anki for flashcards and a lovely local teacher that I go to once a week (not a university classroom). The real truth is it takes between 1000-4000 hours depending on your language, and the only way to get that is by doing a little bit every day. I'm probably somewhere around 700 hours after three years.
