As I already said, I'm not in a rush, although I think I should be able to at least follow general dialogue and simple conversations in about a years time. Although giving yourself 10 years to be "reasonably profficient" is too much time, if you don't limit yourself to a stricter timescale, you'll cause yourself to go at a much slower pace than you are capable off. I can tell you my methods at the end of those 10 weeks if you're still interested.
I would be interested; I'm not going anywhere.
The important thing about the "ten years" was not the number or the pace, but recognizing it was not going to be some quick-n-easy proposition. As things turned out, I was making a living working in a 100% Japanese-only work environment in about six years.
