learn japanese fluently

I have been in Japanese for 5 years, nearly six, & I would like to continue learning the language & hopefully become fluent. Fluent being you can think in the language, & you dream in the language.

well i dont really know what to say but here goes.
right now im enrolled in a type of foriegn exchange student type thing. they call it study abroad, or something like, you pick a contry thats speakes a different language than the one that your used to. you stay there for about a year speaking nothing but that language. in my case i chose japan to go to. and will be leaving in may. so yeah.

i took japanese in college and worked with students from japan for two summers. i’ve since lost a lot of my language skills. i was never fluent, but i’d like to be able to “get by” in basic conversation and reading.

I’m taking Japanese 101 next semester but there I don’t know if my school will be offering 102 the following semester T.T

Watching the film “Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles” allowed me to practice a little Japanese last night. It’s a great film about father son relationships, with beautiful scenes filmed in China. The main character is Japanese, but there is both chinese and japanese through most of the film as the main character works through two translators who accompany him through his quest to do something for his dying son.

Well lately I’ve been trying to brush up on the words I already know but have partially forgotten. Since classes are getting a little more hectic maybe next week I’ll look up a tutorial.
