When I first tried learning Japanese language, I was using books, a serie which I don't know if it exists in english, but it's from the Assimil series. It's quite a good book, but I didn't like the way it was taking.
Language is a fragment, a small part of a bigger picture. Japanese is, in my opinion, to be learned with all of its culture. That is why I am currently taking University Classes about Japanese Culture, History, Politics, Language and Calligraphy. The best way would be to pack up and go in Japan, however it may not be the possible solution for a majority of us... that's why University was a great choice too.
And it has been a year now, and it's really great. We learn the language AND culture pretty fast, and yet there is so much other things to learn, but life's ahead of me, there's plenty of time.
