I've tweaked my study method slightly. I've started listening to Chinesepod podcasts continuously over and over and over and over allllll day long. I've broken them up into groups of 5 episodes, each between 8 to 12 minutes long. Each day I listen to another group of 5 episodes and absorb what I can. It's kind of amazing how well it works, sometimes I don't even pay any attention to it but it's playing in the background and I still pick up things. I even listen to it when I sleep.
The other thing I have to start doing is adding complete words and sentences to Mnemosyne. Ideally, I should just power through all 6000 individual characters but I need to learn actual language for my survival. So, I'm jumping the gun a bit by starting this phase while only knowing 220 characters.

Good luck with your studies ;-)
Have a look at ZDT, its another flash card learner but its specifically designed for learning Chinese characters.
I hope you'll post your Memosyne words and sentences to the site; I've got some in he works, and the HSK files ha have been posted recently are a great improvement on the bare character cards.
