If I went the classroom-study route at some point, I'd want to take a class like your hypothetical class here. Good ideas all.

Feedback is always appreciated, especially from a native speaker. Absolutely love your #RealJapanese tweets on Twitter BTW. Keep 'em coming.

Things that look the simplest are the most difficult parts. Your teacher should have made it clear that there are things other than the chair and TV in the living room but flowers and a newspaper are the only things they have on the table. Oh, and I'd fix だこどころ to だいどころ ! It’s “Japanese for Busy People” isn’t it? Things that look the simplest are the most difficult parts.

Tight schedules can be overwhelming when a wench get thrown in the works but don't give up! I agree, use what you love about Japanese and Japan to motivate you. Also try some self-study to keep your skills fresh and to learn something new in the language, there are a lot of free resources out there. I have signed up for a few online classes that have gotten me excited about Japanese all over again. I was recently in the same boat as well. I felt I had hit a wall with my self-study of Japanese. I was currently on hiatus from college, focusing on studying Japanese, working full-time, and learning how to be a new manager, which I am still trying to navigate. I recently decided to try to attempt the JLPT Level 2 this year and ease myself back into college courses by taking one course this term as well. My former college, the only one that offers Japanese, hired a new Japanese teacher and it seemed we went straight in reverse and it was suppose to be an intermediate course. I started to think maybe I should give up Japanese and just focus on college so I can just finish it up. But I remember why I wanted to learn the language, because I loved the culture and the people, plus it would help in my degree, computer science. I am right there with you on the math, its not my thing but unfortunately I need to know it for my degree field. Gambatte on your courses, especially your calculus course. Hang in there.
