--------------------------- I offer free Japanese lessons on my home site 「here!」 [Note: I am proficient in the language (even proficient enough to get hired at a university for teaching), but do not look to me before a native or someone more proficient, like Nagoyankee] |

In your day to day routine, what ever you do or say in English, try to do it in Japanese. If you find that you are unsure of the grammar or a particular word, add this to you to do list.
If you are learning to write, it can be overwhelming with so many different characters. Pick a couple(whether 5 or 10) and write them out each day. It will really compound after you have done this for a month or so. Pick a conversational Japanese language guide to practise real Japanese. Textbook Japanese is just that. You really want to be able to use your new found vocabulary in real situations to compound your learning. A little bit each day as opposed to a whole day then nothing for the rest of the week is much better. Hope this helps |

I agree, that's like calling yourself -sama. The Japanese are really picky about respect to others and being prideful. Even if you don't intend it, it kind of gives off the underlying tone and makes them very uncomfortable (like constantly calling them あなた, it sounds like you're accusing them).
