Jesus Pimp: you NEED NEED NEED to use audio tapes until you can pronounce the syllables correctly. When I started, I was just repeating the sounds with the syllable chart and a tape for about a month, until my feeble Canadian tongue could say the sounds right. Otherwise, even if you become fluent, if you can't say your 'r's correctly, you'll sound like a dumbass.

After that, study lots to increase your vocabulary, and even more important, find a place where you can go and speak to japanese people (IN JAPANESE). OTherwise you'll have all this info in your head that you can't make come out through your mouth
