Someone asked for help in learning the Japanese alphabets and one of the answers seemed to, logically, give a really good answer, in my opinion. Here it is:
"Here is how I learned them:
1. Pick a syllabary. I found it is easier to start with Hiragana rather than Katakana.
2. Pick a series. I found it is best to start with the vowel series, then k, s, t, h, n, m, y, and finally w (which usually includes the standalone n).
3. Practice writing each character in the series individually on a page of paper, saying its sound each time. Also, use this time to really master the proper shape and size of the characters as well as the stroke order.
4. Once you have about a page done of each (or half of a page of the easier ones), begin writing the entire series together.(saying out the sound of each corresponding character). Fill an entire page with this.
5. Now, devote an entire page to writing out this new series along with all of the previous ones you have learned (if it isn't the first one).
Note that it isn't really necessary to do this with the g, z, d, b, and p series. Just use a couple of lines practicing them along with their corresponding series.
MAKE SURE TO ONLY LEARN ONE OR TWO SERIES PER DAY. You should work for only 1-2 hours a day. After that, not much more will really sink in. Don't get overzealous. It may just end up making it harder for you, and get you discouraged."

Also, on the very same board, someone wrote their study recommendations that seem quite good, sharp, and thorough. This is a guide for grammar, structure, vocabulary, etc... by this person usernamed "Anhk Morpork" and it can be found here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=950647&topic=44131379
