1) Pimsleur is better than Rosetta Stone, but not a replacement for a text book.
2) Go get Genki
3) Learn Hiragana. Nobody uses Romaji and you'll not progress clinging to it.

Thank you for the tips. I'll definitely be looking into that program.
I'll see if I can't find a Hiragana keyboard...

Change your system local to Japan.
Then.
1) Install
http://www.google.com/ime/
Naturally, select Japanese Input.
2) Install
Rikaikun if you're using Chrome/Iron
OR
Rikaichan for Firefox.
This is a built-in dictionary for moonrunes.
3)
If you have an Android device, install either Human Japanese (really friendly! if a little bit slow) or Obenkyo on it.
4) Hiragana practice sheet.
Get one that lists stroke order.
Write each symbol 50 times each day for ten days.

PROFIT.
