What is the best program to learn japanese at home.?

Question

What is better? Pimsleur or the Instant Immersion? I can't afford the Rosetta Stone version.

Answer 1

Here's a great site for learning kanji... they are separated by grade levels and they really helped me!

Answer 2

Instant Immersion is more helpful for casual learners that want to pick up a few phrases.  

If you want to learn Japanese written and spoken, you should invest first in a Japanese-English dictionary with kanji and romaji.

If you tell your price range, I can recommend a learning system for you.
