I'm planning to head over to Japan for a number of months in 2009, and I really want to learn as much of the language as I can before I go. I did study Japanese at school for two years, so I have a lot of the basics down and the background knowledge. I have been trying to teach myself through videos, books and tutorials which has generally been going quite well. But if anyone knew of good websites or anything else to teach Japanese that would be appreciated. Or, if anyone here can speak it and would be willing to teach me that'd be great. Thanks.
