Japanese lessons online

I've been trying to sign up for Japanese classes with some of my family members for a while now, but not much has come of it so far (J and T -- what are we waiting for?). Maybe this will be a good primer.

From AnimeNation News:

The fan run site Omoshiroigame now hosts free kanji, hiragana, and katakana study quizzes, flashcards and games for people interested in learning Japanese language.

Japancast.net now offers free Japanese lessons for the anime otaku in a weekly podcast.
