Learning Japanese
My latest "on the side" learning effort is learning Japanese, and of particular interest, is learning the writing aspect of it. It looks like there is a lot to memorize, and I am starting with the Hiragana alphabet. The best site I have found on the Internet so far for memorization is The Japanese Page (Learn Hiragana), for strokes and actually writing the characters is Japanese Writing Tutor, and a handy chart at Free Japanese Lessons.
It looks like memorizing Hiragana and Katakana will be straightforward, but Kanji on the other hand ...

I'm a Japanese language instructor in the midwest. I've found for adult learners, the book "Remembering the Kanji" by James W Heisig is the best book out there. The method is different than what you'll find in any other textbook, but it works great! Trust the method.
Hi Jason
I work for Hills Learning, a language learning services company in NYC specializing in Japanese tutoring. Japan Times publishes some great books for Japanese language learning, such as A Dictionary of Beginner Japanese Grammar. It has the most thorough explanations. http://www.hillslearning.com/learnjapanesenyc.aspx
