Some tips from me:
-Free language apps or a rosetta stone package for Japanese, children's workbooks are actually great, eg. from 'gifts of the orient' website
- Drawing: find images you like on deviantart or google images and sketch them in your own style
Mahjong: possibly do what my partner did with chess; play against the computer, get books on techniques, follow the experts.
The most important thing with voluntary learning is that it stays voluntary- keep the passion! If you force yourself to study at a certain time and one day fail to do so, you'll beat yourself up and lose the will to learn. You're doing this for yourself, so do it with joy. Good luck!
