The app 'duolingo' is definitely the best method. I also use Iknow.jp for Japanese vocabulary (they have chinese too). Use Lang8.com for practicing writing in your target language.
Don't use books, you can't effeciently learn a language directly off the pages of a single source.
Watch hundreds of hours of content in your target language. My method of choice is finding Japanese speaking youtube channels and watching them stream video games and such. You don't need to understand what they are saying but you do need constant exposure to the sounds of the language in order for your brain to start properly picking up on it.
my daily system is:
1. learn 2 grammar points
2. learn 20 words and review the previous words I've already learned.
3. watch an hour or two of content
4. write a short paragraph on lang8

I think that About.com is a great resource! I don't know about what you're trying to learn but I'm currently learning Spanish and there are several daily newsletters I get that are really helpful, as well as all of the great articles. Fluent in 3 Months is also a really good blog for language learning that I like :)
