You mean the Roman alphabet...
You have a big decision to make here. If you study Japanese using the alphabet, you may become able to speak and listen to Japanese, but you will FOREVER be unable to read and write it.
There are only four things you can do with a language, which are to
read,
write,
speak and
listen. Do you want all four or just two? I'd go for all four if I were you.
In Japanese, you will see almost nothing important written with the alphabet only. No books, no magazines, no newspapers, no websites, no anything....
Think hard before making your decision. It will not be very easy to change from alphabet to real Japanese, say, a year down the road once you have started.
