There are 46 basic Hiragana characters. No idea where 62 would come from. I found one-to-one lessons quite useful after I’d reached a certain stage. I have found that I don’t retain information learned from study apps. In particular, writing out Kanji seems to help me memorize them better than flashcard apps. Watching TV shows in Japanese, looking up words has been helpful. But I’m far from fluent.
