I'm really appreciated that!  :)

I finally started with this guide

http://guidetojapanese.org/

It seems pretty complete and so far I know hiragana and katakana. Now I'm going with grammar. That guide goes with kanjis from the start. Any tips or particular order for learning kanjis? Or I just look them up when I see them for the first time? I also like to buy some book for kanji (with stroke orders and the meanings in hiragana and English). Anyone to recommend? Now I'm using this

http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C

I think I could start with the kanjis for the words I already know. A few minutes ago I learned how to write 桜, 冬, 夏, 春 and 秋. It's not much but just something to start with :)

do not listen to any of these people, go and learn it from a person who teaches it, i went and learnt it at colllege...after class lessons... and i leant japanese in 1 month, and i got taught to speak like a person from japan instead of someone trying to speak it, like for example someone who comes from some far away country like russia and says HELLLO MY NAME IS MARK.

let the teacher explain to you how japanese work.

its the most effective way to learn japanese,  but even going to like 6 lessons you will understand how japanese sentences are structured and how they are different from english.

and to top it off, if u go to japan, u will have a much bigger improvement from getting those lessons.

(you need someone to tell you if your doing it off)
 (you don't know a mistake, if you don't know about it first)

Kanashto:
In my opinion, the most you benefit from subtitled anime is Japanese vocabulary.

I will throw a cluster of words (and/or phrases?) I learned and I am sure most of you who probably watched anime for years would recognize many. These are only some:

baka, demo, nande, wakateru, ame, yume, bakemono, wakarimasu, wakarimasen, soriyori, nani, chigaimasu, mi-te, hikari, aka, kuro, shiro, ni-ge-te, hayaku, watashi, boku, nii-san, ne-san, otoko, unna, kanojo, otosan, okasan, obachan, ikkiimaasu, kso, shiksho, matte, toma-re, koros, shinjite, kanashimi, yasashi, futari, anatawa, minna, kisama, dareka, taicho, hi-me, sekai, sai-kyo, honto, yada, naniyo, jodan, da-me, kirai, ai, ski

Oh, some include honorifics but we all know them, san, kun, chan, sama, dono, sensei, senpai, kohai, bozu and (none)

Anyone who didn't "properly" learn Japanese know these words?
