I'm sure most of the people here who can actually speak Japanese learned through a class. There are a large number of us (including myself) who are self-teaching using the internet. If you search around on this site, you'll find some threads where people have listed their resources that they've used.
Also, of those of us that are beginning self-teaching, a large percentage are trying to take an actual class. Self teaching can take you only so far, really. I've been at it for months and have only learned how to read kana, recognize a few Kanji, a few words, and the most basic of polite verb-conjugations. I learned more about spanish in two weeks taking a class in high school.
Get a class if you can. It's the best way to go. Otherwise, find a friend who speaks Japanese very well and glue yourself to his/her hip (figuritively).
