Is "Remmembering the Kanji" (By James Smth., can't remember the surname) useful to learn them? And how good is the Kanji Gold program? One last thing, will knowing the Japanese kanji help learning the Mandarin hanja? I heard there are a lot more hanja then kanji, but still, at least some of them should be identical?
P.S. I'll be usng Pimsleur (got a free copy from a friend) Japanese, Remembering the Kanji Volumes 1 & 2 and the Kanji Gold program to learn Japanese. Does anyone know if they'll be sufficient? I can also acquire Rosetta Stone Japanese 1-3 if it's good.

As for grammar, other posters have discussed it. Japanese grammar doesn't have the type of synthetic case system and verb morphology you find in Russian, German, or Spanish*, but it has plenty of intricacies.

* for Spanish, I only mean the verb morphology.

I thought Japanese conjugated verbs?

It does, but not in the same way as in European languages.
