Here's a bunch of things I recommend. Don't know how many have already been recommended, but here anyways. The descriptions are from another thread, but I think they'll give you an idea of how some are.
Rosetta Stone
It's a bit pricey, but it's well worth the price, believe me, it is, especially for immersion purposes. It doesn't teach much in the way of grammar, but when you first learn your own language you don't really learn that much grammar when you first start listening and talking now do you?
Remembering the Kana By James W. Heisig
All the kana in a two sided book taught by using your imagination.
Remembering the Kanji I By James W. Heisig
The English meanings of all the commonly used kanji taught by using your imagination.
Remembering the Kanji II By James W. Heisig
All the readings to all of the kanji learned in RTKI.
Remembering the Kanji III By James W. Heisig
I believe this has jinmeyou kanji...
Remembering the Kanji: Hyperkanji! By James W. Heisig & Author unknown for now
I don't know about this one.
Remembering the Kanji Flashcards
Flashcards that go with th first two RTK books with references to other kanji books.
Japanese Verbs At A Glance Author unknown for now
I only saw this one so I can't describe it. It just looks good.
All About Particles By Naoko Chino
About seventy commonly used particles explained in a handbook.
How to Tell the Difference Between Japanese Particles By Naoko Chino
The same sevety particles explained, but grouped by similar functions.
Kodansha's Dictionary of Japanese Particles By Sue A. Kawashima
Over 100 particles in alphabetical order.
A Handbook of Japanese Verbs By Taeko Kamiya
Title is pretty self-explanitory.
Breaking Through Japanese Literature By Giles Murray
Seven Modern classics by two authors with parallel text.
Kodansha's Furigana Japanese-English Dictionary Kodansha Library
Pretty self-explanitory.
Genki Author unknown for now
A textbook that teaches using kana!
Yookoso
I don't know too much about this one, but it's been suggested to me.
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjdic.html
An online dictionary for French and English speakers. Also has a few ways to look up kanji.
http://www.guidetojapanese.org/
Tae Kim's awesome guide on grammar! He explains everything clearly in various lessons. Aiko san even suggested him!
http://www.yamasa.org/index.html
I don't know too much about this one. I just use it for the JLPT kanji.
http://jgram.org/
A site for more advanced students that teaches all levels of grammar.
http://www.msu.edu/~lakejess/kanjigame.html
Kanji game for memorizing kanji!
http://www.e-japanese.jp/index.htm
A site for studying for the JLPT
http://www.jlptstudy.com/
A site for studying for the JLPT

Another site by Tae Kim. Looks like it's for more advanced students.
・・・I think that's all that helps

Hermonie Urameshi crystal_moon098 Hermonie Urameshi scream I hate the bookstores around here! The curiculum they have sucks!
Anyone know of good books for grammar that isn't completely in roumaji? actually i just got a book designed for teaching how to read and speak Japanese on your own and it has kanji its called japanese step-by-step by gene nishi No! No! No! That book doesn't have anything in kana so that I can learn easier and it's confusing. I need it like the genki books or Kodansha's Dictionary of Japanese particles where it has furigana.
And I had already answered his question. what the heck are you talking about?

I don't learn your way, with roumaji, very well. That's why I end up typing up lessons for others using kana. It helps me understand.

I was confused...that book does have kanji and romaji but whatever. I would've thought that one would need to know romaji before starting kanji

crystal_moon098 so you want a book about kanji thats completely in kana? sweatdrop About anything that's in kanji with either just kana to tell how to read the kanji on the next line or what's better, furigana to take up less space.

Looks pretty accurate. But a lot of people say the JLPT isn't worth it unless you want to get into every nook and cranny of the language.
