At the moment I'm actually working through an Anki deck with 5000 characters and Cantonese pronunciations,


Wow. Good man. I haven't done much with Cantonese for a couple of years now and feel bad. Now that I'm back in Canada, I hear a fair amount of Cantonese on the street. (... and a LOT more Mandarin than before.)

I don't know whether you can order Chinese Character Exam Books in China but I use one
for Korean speakers. To help ground those characters, find a book that helps you learn
its synonyms, antonyms, simplified form, complex forms, four letter proverbs, four letter
proverb synonyms, compound word synonyms and antonyms, their radicals, strokes.

Once you're exhausted with that, you've have no issue learning Characters.

and read to stay in step.

Haha, I'm the other way around; I've started to forget my mandarin due to neglect in favor of cantonese, because Cantonese is so much more fun. I recently got a copy of 男人唔可以窮, part 1 and 2. It's a novel written entirely in Cantonese and it's sparked a renewed interest, so it's gonna take a while before I get back to redaing Mandarin.

Even though I reasonably postponed my dreams of Mandarin, I encountered an interesting thing: http://www.skritter.com/ The basic thought is a writing srs.
