+ one more thing about japanese-language classes. While There are some good translated resources out there, when it comes to classes I think that doing them in your native language stops you from actually making the mental switch to Japanese. Most foreign language classes in Europe are done 100% in that language from day 1. There's no reason why this wouldn't work just as well in Japanese, especially since you're already at an advanced level. there's a lot of fear and reservation before doing something in your target language, just dive right in and you'll see some rapid progress, I promise!

(Coincidentally, rich_f was there for the first time I ever spoke Japanese in front of native speakers, a.k.a. My first ever Joi class... I'm sure e can attest to how terrible I was at speaking... but I made a lot of progress really fast with those lessons)
