Other ways to learn Japanese?

[JFreak]

Stopped learning Japanese since I got into college. Been having my lessons with daily anime and anisong dose, somehow it helps, if not a lot, at least by a bit.
Just hate that I still tend to think/read in Chinese when reading kanjis. However, having Chinese as a base helped in my Japanese, at least for me.

Wow. Congratulations on that. While many here are saying they can speak Japanese, N1 goes well beyond just everyday speech and into true fluency.

I started with very basic group lessons given through a university extension program (think a community center). From there, my wife and I took some private lessons, studied at a cram school in Tokyo, and are working on N2. The hardest part is the lack of good conversation practice. That is where regular classes and a teacher really help.

I don't think you can learn Japanese just by watching anime, sorry. Maybe you'll have a basic idea of what's going on but so would anyone else with eyes lol You need books and determination to learn tricky things like particles, verb tenses etc. Some good books are Genki, Remembering the Kana, and All About Particles. There are also video series you can watch. For kanji there's Anki. Also you can visit Japanese boards and see what's going on there. Rikaichan helps with that

Try buying Colloquial Japanese, the complete course for beginner. It's quite easy to study and you can take it easy just by reviewing and study one lesson each 3 days and you will realize that you have improved a lot. Because it teaches you nearly every aspect.
