Children have a different mental structure, a more elastic brain, and they’re learning it as a first language. Plus- complete immersion, which isn’t feasible if you’re living outside Japan. And it still takes twelve years of schooling.

For things not mentioned I sometimes look up a vocaloid song’s lyrics (as anime scripts (for ones I like) are too hard to come by) and I use the Rikaikun installation to translate the more normal/important words. It’s fun to do on occasion,and it exposes me to lots of different declension forms.

That would seem to be the logical answer. Works for them, should work for us.

I’m learning Japanese from a book and I convert all the vocabulary I learn there into kanji.
This way you actually use the kanji further in the book, or that chapter itself, enhancing the knowledge.
The learning itself I do with Anki.
I learn the meaning and the reading of kanji that’s used in that word I learned. So I learn one reading at the time, eventually I’ll know them all, or I can just reset the cards with all meanings.
I use Heisig’s book for the stories and the main meaning of the word.
And after this first book I’ll start reading some manga :)

So that’s about every method said here combined X D

At a pace of 10/day, I’m progressing nicely, not too fast, but also definitely not slow :).
I’m at 380 kanji approx now.
