Just focus on finishing all of the Pimsleur levels - worry about reading/writing later (you can just use Google Translate)

I'm almost done with Pimsleur Level 3. There are 2 more levels to go. I learned most of hiragana and katakana over a few weekends. I also learned (and quickly forgot) a few hundred kanjis using Heisig method. Overall, I'm surprised how much worse my Japanese is than my French was after similar amount of study.
