I’m sorry to hear you dropped out of college. Aside from taking a class at college, you could get a personal tutor but that could end up being just as expensive or even more.
Taking a class does have it’s advantages, such as, your being taught by a native who can check your progress, your mistakes and explain things personally. You also have others around you who can help and in turn you can help them.
Saying that, self studying can be just as effective and makes up for what taking a class can offer.
I don’t know how far you are knowledge wise, but it’s worth checking through all the TextFugu seasons and seeing how much of it you’ve covered before.
There’s a lot more resources. Too many to name. Tofugu has reviews on the best resources. Check it out http://www.tofugu.com/japanese-resources/.

If you have a smartphone or a tablet, you could make use of using Anki and listening to podcasts on your bus or train journeys.
I actually asked Koichi last month about the differences between Subscriber and Premium Subscriber and he said the following:
“ I have no idea… I think it’s just what gets associated with different account types. No actual difference, just naming inconsistency on my part.”

Since the update a couple months back, some pages are redirecting to different pages from past seasons and some links for anki decks are no longer available. Notify Koichi about it.
Hello. Welcome to TF. Nice to see more people from the UK on the forums. Your plan on using your Japanese knowledge for your work sounds very exciting. Good luck with everything.
Hello and welcome to TF! Hope you have better luck this time learning Japanese.
Hello fellow UK’er. Welcome to TF. I’m with you on the sushi. It’s one of my favourite foods now. I’m not a huge fan of J-pop though. Good luck with studying Japanese.
Hello. Your story is very interesting. I do find it fascinating to see how language has evolved over the years. Perhaps that elderly gentleman has a smile on his face now seeing you pursue learning the language again.
Hello and welcome to TF. This back to school sale has brought in some new faces :). Good luck with your studies.
Hey Calvin. Welcome to TF. Hong Kong looks like an interesting place. Would love to go there one day. Good luck learning Japanese here.
There’s some Japanese Hip Hop songs in this thread http://www.textfugu.com/bb/topic/japanese-songs/.
I highly recommend stuff from Nujabes. He was a brilliant artist. RIP :(
Japanesepod101 have podcasts on iTunes I believe. Funnily enough, if you check your dashboard and scroll down to offers, there seems to be a deal for TextFugu members to get 50% off a premium Jpod101 account.
Hello and welcome to TF! Good luck with learning Japanese.
Is this the one?

All the Tofugu cheat sheets are located here: http://www.tofugu.com/japanese-resources/
If you don’t mind shelling out $25, you can buy nine cheat sheets from Nihonshock.com. They look very well made and cover a variety of different areas. A lot more in depth than the Tofugu ones.
You can read the Tofugu review on them here: http://www.tofugu.com/japanese-resources/nihonshock/
This is the main page about them: http://cheatsheets.nihonshock.com/
Just as a side note, In this case you actually made a mistake but don’t trust google translate too much. It’s okay for very simple sentences but once you get to more complicated grammar it gives some pretty bad translations.
Agreed. Google translate is fine for single words or very simple sentences and phrases but anything more complex and it isn’t worth using it. Which is probably why one of the reasons Lang-8 was created.
