All Japanese All the Time.
A buddy pointed out this blog to me. This guy apparently learned business level Japanese in about 18 months.
From the blog:
"I am your host, Khatzumoto. I learned Japanese in 18 months by having fun. In June 2004, at the ripe old age of 21, all post-pubescent and supposedly past my mental/linguistic prime, I started learning Japanese. By September 2005, I had learned enough to read technical material, conduct business correspondence and job interviews in Japanese. By the next month, I landed a job as a software engineer at a large Japanese company in Tokyo (yay!)."
I've been studying Japanese as well as other languages for years, so once I got over my jealousy, I gave it a good read and there are tons of great insights and resources for language learning and working toward any goal.
I recommend it highly.
