For me, there's an ebook I downloaded from PuniPuni Japan, and I just write the kanji over and over again. It has stroke order, the meanings, and the readings, as well as example words and scentences. I also have a flashcard app on my computer called Anki. I also write down whatever kanji I see (sometimes).

Not really. The action of this sentence was made by the car, marked with が as you can see, and the verb also indicates that. The verb and the particle should be 車を とめました if it were 'I stopped the car.'

とまる is a 自動詞 (jidoushi, ~intransitive verb) and means to stop (itself). Its 他動詞 (tadoushi, ~transitive verb) counterpart is とめる, which means to stop (something).

So I just had to enter this and "There is a bird on the tree" about 10 times each for the lesson to clear.
