Yeah, you need full immersion to perfect the language. Could you understand the English news perfectly at four years old?

This is bad news for me, sounds like learning Japanese is a bad choice.

Why? Did you think learning a language is easy? You will not learn
any language that well just by taking one course each semester for four years! If your goal is fluent Japanese or nothing at all, you should just quit now, because you are displaying a laziness that will prevent you from learning any other language.
For what it's worth, I was in Houston this weekend at a Taiwanese church with my fiancée and her parents. After the service, the parents introduced me to someone who speaks Japanese. We started talking in Japanese just fine, and I had no problems at all (except, after a while of not speaking with older people, I was speaking a bit too informally with him).
Also, as a reference point, I'm between JLPT 1 and 2 in ability.
