What is a good way to learn japanese for to become a foreign exchange student with CCI-Exchange?

Question

I plan on going to Japan as a foreign exchange student in the CCI-Exchange program. I going in about a year and a half and want to know the basic Japanese. It's required to have a least of one year of Japanese, so I need to know what software can teach me Japanese Basic. I planning becoming fluent when I am in Japan for 6 months. I just want to get past the requirement for now.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Maybe the university nearest you has Japanese students who would like to trade you teaching advanced English, and they teach you basic Japanese?

Or get some tapes from the local library.  if there are none, aske them to special order them for you.  tax dollars and all that.

My d'ter got her MA in the university in Niigata, and had a great 2 years.  It is an international academic institution, and the classes were in English.
