I started working with 3rd book:
"Praktyczny kurs gramatyki języka japońskiego. Wybór ćwiczeń" praca zbiorowa 50/133
I also learnt today:
*50 new words (so it's 950 approx. now)
...and I tried to read some manga in japanese. It's great for me that every kanji has furigana next to it. I don't know too many of them so it makes things easier.

Regarding Korean pronunciation, "Sounds of Korean" has been recommended to me as a very good foundation. I have yet to try it since I switched focus to Japanese, but maybe it'll help you. (Btw, a lesson per day of Elementary Korean is quite a lofty goal. One lesson per week or even every two weeks is a much more realistic goal. Just work on it a little bit everyday =))
Also, for the vocabulary (and just remembering language stuff in general), try an SRS. I personally like anki, which is a free download.
がんばってね!

Thank you for your words! I know that one lesson per day of elementary Korean is a hard one to do so I gave up on it. I have a lot of stuff to do at school so I had to choose. I'm already giving up on learning some things for school just to have more time for Japanese. I don't like the situation but I have to leave Korean for a while.
Thank you for recommending books "Sounds of Korean". I'll definitely check it later!
For learning vocabulary I started using Anki few days ago. Maybe learning on the computer is not the best thing for me but this program is really grat for revising stuff.
So here are my today's achievements:
*50 new words (so it's 1000 approx. now, yay!)
*"Praktyczny kurs gramatyki języka japońskiego. Wybór ćwiczeń" praca zbiorowa 65/133
Next week my japanese lessons are going to start. Maybe finally I will learn how to SPEAK in this language (because now it takes me 1 min to say a simple sentence). I can't wait!
ありがとうございます、メリッサさん!

Of course I didn't give up on learning Japanese. I decided to focus on grammar now, because that's what I need at the moment.

Progress:
*"Praktyczny kurs gramatyki języka japońskiego. Wybór ćwiczeń" praca zbiorowa 110/133 lessons
I wish that I didn't have to study that much. Going to school, preparing for exams take a lot of my free time and I don't have as much time as I want for Japanese. I'm giving up vocabulary and kanji for a week or so.
