Theres loads of these threads?!
simple answer to all your questions is go buy a book or go to a class! your local college/university will more than likely run a japanese language class for anyone over the age of 16.
Books: Japanese for dummies, Japanese for busy people, Japanese from zero.
Classes:
Google
No thread or forum will get you fluent or even anywhere near basic level japanese.. go to a class or get a book and study study study! I do atleast 30mins a day from my books and my audio lessons i got. I've been doing it for a year now and I know so much already its unbelievable. I can hold full japanese conversations with my class teacher (missmisa will back me on this before anyone starts) for example.
Theres no such thing as "oh i joined a forum now i can say "arigato" so im studying japanese"
Also, if you do join a class, study in between lessons! Theres people who go to my course who just turn up (usually late) and expect to learn but now 3 months in they stare blankly at sensei everytime she talks to them.. Its so obvious that they dont give 2mins thought about japanese language apart from during session.
/rant
Im only saying what everyone else who bought a book and can hold their own is thinking.
