There's the answer I was waiting for. I'm guessing you've been in-country for a while now.

Another good one is www.japanesepod101.com. Some content is free, you can create an account for free, and there are various levels - beginner, intermediate, and advanced (you pay for beyond beginner level). I'm convinced that bombarding myself with Japanese every day will get me the familiarity I'm seeking with the language.

Also, did anyone see that MIT opencourseware
had a Japanese linguistics course? I bought
the book for it, but never got around to finishing
it.

I bought some kanji cards from Tuttle; I liked their Chinese

is all I have!

I've been using Kanji cards. I ordered them from White Rabbit Press: http://www.whiterabbitpress.com/. The tough part is that the characters aren't just the simple ones; they show words using those Kanji, and those are often complicated ones. But I've found that working on them every day is definitely worthwhile.

I'm learning Japanese through books, but I also use livemocha.com. Maybe we can make a compendium of good learning sources?
