Not sure if people have notice yet, but Tae Kim is adding a new section to his site, called "The Complete Guide to Learning Japanese":

http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/complete

Seems a bit simpler than the grammar guide, and seems to follow a more linear "textbook" style approach, rather than being a reference manual. Ordering a bit more logical too.

More importantly, there are a whole new batch of example sentences! Now say what you like about the sentences on that site, but they are very i+1, therefore I've always found them great.

It's still in the early stages, but seems like it could be a good resource when it's completed.

Looks like it's going to be an awesome resource. I especially love how the romaji stops as soon as the kana is taught.

And since grammar is currently my weak point, I expect it'll help me there, too. (Reading through grammar dictionaries and sites wasn't cutting it. I apparently need a structured approach to it.)

Correction: I've already learned quite a bit. This is awesome.

Yeh it's already helped re-enforce some grammar patterns for me.

Also Tae Kim mentions it's going to have audio, which will be super-useful.
