Well I would say that, I am iterested in living in Japan for a short period of time (three years maybe) but I have to agree the language is very important, I moved to the US not so long ago, and I had already studied various levels of english, but when I first got here it was hard to follow a conversation, I could only pic up simple words and some phrases, it took time for my ears to keep up but I tried to listen as much english speaking as posible, it costed me alot of trouble, I had to start working in places were conversation wasn't compleateley required, and with time and going back to study I can say my english is prety good and I am trying to nail my writing now, and that is what I am planing to do with the Japanese, though it may take a wile to learn enough so I can make the trip.

so comunication is the first priority when you are moving to another country, you just can't expect to get there and get what you want.
