It is interesting that people would spend years in Japan and not be fluent. If I had the opportunity to speak some years in Japan, I would make sure I am fluent in the language. I love the language, country, people, music, culture, food, etc. I'm hoping to go to a Japanese school this fall. Has anyone heard of KCP International in Tokyo and how good the school is? Or if anyone can recommend some decent Japanese learning schools that would be great (in Japan, that is). My goal is to become "fluent" in the language, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop there -- hopefully one day I can master all 1,945 JOYO kanji. I have about 800 to 900 down (300 to 400 I can write good). I've been studying for 4 years now, been doing different things to get my vocabulary up -- e-mail exchanges, text chat, voice chat, mixi, opening up my own forum/website. It's time for me to get some "proper" teaching.
