im still learning.
but, normally it takes 4 semesters (or 2 years) to become semi-fluent.
you wont become truely fluent until you go to japan and are surrounded by it 24 hours a day. there are so many little things that you can only pick up when you're actually living there, and not learning the langauge from a text book.
do you think you could learn to speak english like an american if you just learned it from a textbook or audio tapes?
I heard from study aboard students that within 3 months, something "clicks" in thier head. And almost like magic, thier ability to speak and understand increased 10 fold.
well, i should say the only way to become fluent is to go to japan.
you must take 2 more years of japanese classes.
The focus of the first 2 years is basically to learn all the grammer, syntax, schematic, etc.
while the next 2 years, they will teach you less grammer and focus more on actually using it. You will have to make speechs, hold conversations everyday in class, write compostions etc.
