im going to have to go ahead and agree with the fact that you need to be exposed to as much of the language as possible. Much less entertaining, but watching the news every night is helpful- but japan has a whole world of media and you don't need to confine yourself to anime. I.e. soap operas are nice too, and expose you to, ummm, emotional japanese.

another thing you might want to be aware of is that for an english speaker, japanese is going to take you twice as long as, ohhhhhh say, french. so don't be surprised when what you are learning in your 4th year Japanese class is comparable to your 2nd year french class. try not to get bummed out.

also, good luck with the two languages thing, but you ever hear "chase two rabbits, catch neither"?
