Languages I Know:
Urdu --> Mother-tongue | Can speak
Hindi --> My Dad knows Hindi as he was a resident of Pune once upon a time and My mom knows too. | I can Read and Speak only simple sentence.
Tamil --> State Language | Can Read, Write and Speak
English --> I am from an American-Indian family! | Can Read, Write and Speak
Want to Learn:
Master Hindi | Reason: Because, It's my crush's favorite language and her mother-tongue.
As i said earlier i can read and speak only simple sentences in Hindi. When i hear some long and complex sentence i can't even understand a word. As a part of learning Hindi, I am watching some Hindi Movies like Don 2, Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, Jannat, Dhoom 1 & 2 repeatedly. Still, I can't understand some sentence.

I'm just using Google. Hopefully, it will be enough for me to learn the basics. I remember how I learned English. Its not going to be easy.
And this site for now : Nihongo o Narau - Learn Japanese
As well as lots of japanese anime, although they don't seem to be of much help for learning the language.
Anyway,
Douzo yoroshiku Icebags-san.
(Nice to meet you Icebags )
@icebags: Please suggest some good material to learn japanese.

konnichiwa, jojo-san, nihongo ni irassai. anata no link wa ii dseu, benkyo ni o ganbatte kudasai.
(if you wanna search meaning by words, go eudict.com)
lol, i know just a little, you may follow that link, it seems good, but if you ever think you want the grammar part consolidated, then may be i will be able to help you.
you should get the basic grammar first, so that sentence structures get clear. then you should move out to build vocab by listening to programs (anime/movie/songs whatever you get) with their romaji lyrics/ sub. when you think u get a vocab stock of 300+, then may be you should get serious with writing.
afraid not, grammar is simple, pronunciation is not very hard, sentence structure is not too hard, only the difficult part is kanji. it goes same with chinese too. learn hiragana first, if you start with kanji, you may fed up soon.
i don't get much time, so its going slowly. but i will be able to help you with whatever resource i have, if you ask. it will be beneficial for me too.
learning by songs is good, remember memorizing poetry in school?

ah, right, lets get started.....
i follow Learn Japanese Free - Complete Resource For Learning Japanese, if want you may check it out also.
basic sentence structure is SOV (subject - object - verb), that's like hindi a bit. ok, forget it, here is an example :
kono hon wa omoshiroi desu.
kono/sono/ano -> this/that/distant that
hon -> book
wa/ga -> subject indicator
omoshiroi -> interesting
desu -> verb like "hai/hain" in hindi
subject is book, book is interesting, verb is hindi.
now memorize this:
*www.learnjapanesefree.com/img/japanese-particles-list.jpg
then check these basic sentences.
*www.learnjapanesefree.com/basic-japanese-sentences.html
when you get that structure above, you will be able to identify the subject/object/verb in a basic sentence. take help of eudict, and get meanings of words. if any confusion, arise the question.
