Heh. ^^ I take classes at my college, St. John's University in New York. I remember I was so sad because my high school only offered Spanish and French. I had to do a search to find out if my college had clases. I was literally bouncing up and down at my work when I found out. ^^
If you'd like, I can recommend a text book. Genki Integrated Course In Elementary Japanese is pretty good. But really, you just have to be willing to take the time to memorize stuff.....><*

Well, if you're really serious about it, depending on where you live, you might be able to find a one-on-one teacher. Obviously, it would be more expensive, but I'm sure it would be a really good way to learn. You could advertise in the newspaper or at a college or something. ^^ That's how my dad got me a piano teacher. Good luck^^ Remember, most of it is just memorization. Hiragana and katakana were not very hard, they just took a lot of work to memorize. ^^ Kanji, on the other hand, well, me and Kanji are having our......problems.....*^^*

Haha! Wow, I want to learn piano too... dammit I will NOT get jealous...! Too late. :B I hope you're not taking violin lessons either, by any chance. !!
Well, the one-to-one thing is already out, sorry, but thanks for that. xD I guess if I'm THAT desperate, maybe.
How do you (personally) memorize a character, by the way? It might help me. xD;

^^ Actually, I took violin for three years in elementary school. I quit, though, because I liked piano waaaay better. I quit taking lessons for that, too, though after about 4/5? years. I still play everyday when I got back home, though. It's a great instrument and you can usually take a class for it in school, I've seen.
About memorizing, well, I have a HORRIBLE memory for anything other than books and anime ;; so first I memorize how to read them by putting them on flashcards because that is naturally more easy for me. After I have that down, I just.....write and write andwriteandwriteandwrite. Yep. 'Till I memorize how to write each one. I found it's good to start by memorizing one letter group at a time like ma mi me mo mu, then once you get them all down try the randomly.
Well, hope that helped
