I'm trying really heard to learn Japanese on my own, and I was wondering if those who are already familiar with it could advise me on exactly how to do that. So far I know a few basic sentences, words, and grammar rules, as well as about two dozen hiragana...but that's it.
:P
Also, are there any good sites that provide lessons and tests of varying difficulty? That might help me to memorize...
