kadath,

i backpacked japan for 5 weeks or so this summer. i can highly recommend the pimsleur curriculum. they have a cheaper version for people who are just traveling or for business, but the person serious about learning the language should get the more expensive set. i believe there are 20-30 twenty minute lessons per volume, i think i remember there being 3 volumes.

they have served me well but are very expensive and only recommended if you are certain to make a serious effort. of course, once you buy them, feel free to get "backup" copies of the lessons from bittorrent or p2p.

i got around just fine but there is sure is a lot to learn. PM me if i can help ya out.
