I have a great book [well, I think it's great] that comes with a CD and you can do some excersises in it to practice your Japanese. It covers most things you'd need to know if you were to visit Japan, all the basics, shopping, ordering a meal, asking the way, asking the time etc etc. It's called 'Japanese for Busy People,' you can get it pretty cheap on ebay and I think it's really good. It's available in romaji or kana versions.

I have actual tutored lessons from a Japanese teacher every week alongside this, so obviously I'm making more progress because of this but I think the book is very good on it's own too.
