kidnap lots of japanese people and keep them in your apartment.. their screams of terror might contain some real japanese.. other than that, no.
I don't believe getting one japanese friend and talking to him / her will help all that much, so i don't really have any ideas =/

You've got some great advice there Mac. Patent it and write a book. "Learning languages by kidnapping", could make you rich...

lol...thanks people.
actually what i did was join a group that meets once every month to practice japanese and i am going to start buying and renting japanese movies, music and etc just to get around the language more. i just hope that this group has some people in it much more advanced than i am otherwise it will be a huge waste of time.

I would say definitely watch Japanese movies and TV shows, anime, etc. Especially some of the newer stuff. I once heard that Japanese is changing so rapidly that if a Japanese person were to leave Japan and go back a year later, they wouldn't be able to understand some of the language. I'm not sure how much that is still happening, though.
