The teachers here use the "Minna no nihongo" metod. Minna no nihongo is a book series, is divided in various lessons and has an excersise book (that one is full in japanese), and there is other that is in spanish (in my case of course. There are english, korean and chinese version too) that explains grammar and has each lesson vocabulary (kanji-hiragana-meaning). We take two quiz per week, these are about the kanji in each lesson (vocabulary) and grammar.
It's a pretty fast metod, but you have to study a lot. I think that if you study alone it's not that difficult, you can take your own time.
At the same time we learn kanji. 12 per week, this include writing and lecture (the most difficult thing), so we have 1 quiz per week about kanji, words that uses those kanji, radicals, number of strokes, etc.
Honestly I think that the metod for learn kanji is not good at all. Our teacher barely speaks spanish, so it's a little difficult to communicate with her. Really, it's better to learn with a teacher who is not japanese. Because japanese teachers teaches like if you were a japanese student! And a 6 year old kid it's not the same that a 17-19 year old student xD.
Well, in conclusion, I totally recomend "Minna no nihongo", but with kanji it's better to find an own metod.
Please, excuse my english n.n;;
