Learning a new language?

I've used Duolingo (which, unfortunately, doesn't offer Japanese) and Memrise in tandem for French, Spanish and Italian.  I think they work reasonably well.  You could probably use Rosetta Stone in place of Duolingo.

News in Slow... is a good podcast once you have mastered the basics.

I've found that some of the blogs on FluentU have decent tips for more advanced podcasts.

Don't know if you're still pursuing this; but Duolingo does now offer Japanese (though it's in beta at the moment.)
