Practice, practice, and more practice is the only way to learn a language. Some people can learn better than others outside of the environment, but I (for one) am crappy at self teaching. At least this way I have to go around listening, speaking, and reading whether or not I want to. Thanks :)

You're going to become fluent in Japanese! My brain could master neither Spanish nor French, so I'm in awe. I think that's great. Hope you get fully settled in and enjoy yourself.
