I recommend starting with Memrise. You can quickly build a strong vocabulary by working flashcards sets anytime you have a spare moment, and it has an app for mobile use. The more words you recognize, the easier it is to understand what is being said or written.

Grammar and building sentences should come later, and is best done within an active community where you can get interactive feedback.

I support the recommendation. I used it to learn Japanese, and it was a very useful tool for that. Never succeeded, but only because I decided to finish learning European languages before straining away.
