Learn from a Japanese native.  You can always place an ad in the newspaper.

I used to work at a company where the janitor was korean.  He just moved here.  I didn't know him from jack but he came up to me one day and asked me could I teach him english.  

So maybe befriend a Japanese person, schedule some time together.  I"m sure they will be more than willing to help you.  In the mean time to start with the basics, get a book in the library.

Answer 4

this won't be enough, but it sorta fits the requirements.

you can always watch japanese movies/anime series/music videos on line w/ english translations, and when you hear a word repeated, you can put pieces together w/ process of elimination.

i've learned a handful of phrases that way, along w/ looking up song lyrics w/ their romaji and english translation.
