When I was about to start to study Japanese by myself (to complement the course I used to do), someone recommended me Minna no Nihongo, telling me it was a simple and yet very useful book to learn, that would make things easier. Due lack of strength, I didn't start it, but you can give it a try. http://nihongo-dekimasu.blogspot.com/2007/12/minna-no-nihongo-1.html (There are also two more books, videos and audios of this course.)

Also: There's a community on LJ: http://learn-japanese.livejournal.com/ There's always someone to help you there. :D
And... That's all I have, I think. :D
