Thanks for the advice so far! I've decided that rather than try to practice in the mornings, I'll practice at around 5:00, when I get home. I've subscribed to one of about.com's week-long beginner newsletters to start, but after I do that I'm going to look through the links you provided, Endless. =) I'm going to try and get the basics down first, and I'm going to make sure my schedule allows for daily practice.
After I get the basics down, I'm going to try and follow your advice, Rantz. I actually had tried studying French before but I had jumped right into trying to make sense of French media before I really grasped anything about the language (I tried to play Chrono Trigger in French), so now I'm going to take my time and learn the basics first. I already have some ideas on what I might use to practice. (That silent movie "The Artist" comes to mind. I feel like that would be good language practice in general.)
Anywho, I'm starting up tonight so we'll see how it goes.
