How to get fluent quicker?!

Vote now!

Hi, I'm studying Japanese and I'm probably beginner level or higher but I'd like to hear from anyone who has suggestions on the best ways to get more fluent faster. One is obviously to live in the country of the language studied (which I am!)  I have been living in Japan for a year so far. Any other things that would help? Appreciate it!

Richard.

What I do with Japanese is try to think in it. It always helps if you think in the language that you're learning.
Also, I try to talk to my younger brother in Japanese, but he doesn't know as much as I do, so the conversation is very limited.

Just speak and think in Japanese as much as possible. That's all I can think of.
