Try some Japanese CD's to start off on the basics. Then try more advanced material. You can easily find these kinds of Language Packs around the internet or around the city.
I don't have any sources currently, but you could try some of the other threads in the forum. I'm sure there is already someone who has asked for this kind of information.
There are also people on this forum who could teach you.
Just be patient and friendly.

torrents and CDs aren't going to do it. You need to either find a class or tutor or go to Japan.

Is it urgent? You can't wait until you've saved enough money for classes? In the meantime, you can be productive by memorizing the Japanese alphabet - hiragana and katakana (I suggest hiragana first though)

Not like classes are required.. (there are none where I live ;; ) ..but you have to take the initiative.
There are lots of resources on the internet to get you started.. if you can't afford books/cds, try borrowing them from the library.
Try learning hiragana and katakana.. romaji is okay if you're talking to other foreigners, but aside from that.. XD;

I think you could say that. Hiragana is the alphabet. But it does not consist of letters like the alphabet in the western countries (A, B, C, D, E, F, ...).
It consists of syllables and vowels (a, i, u, e, o are the japanese vowels; pronunciation is not the english way but more the german or french way I would say). The only consonant which can stands alone is 'n'. Here is a link that shows the Hiragana:
