Why do I prefer learning japanese through Internet rather than trough books (even if books are great) ? Because Internet always catch up with events. And because when you learn vocabulary on Internet, you can learn how to say this :
ワールドカップの決勝戦でジダンは頭突きをした。
"During the World Cup, Zidane give a headbutt."
Essential :))

One advantage you have is that you have people to help you ! A grand-ma and a parent to speak to on a regular basis will definitly make you have quicker progresses than me :)
