i would love to try and learnt he language but i just dont have the time anymore unless someone has some good tips on it i mean ive treid the whole tapes thing from the library i jsut didnt have time to listen to tapes and focus on work at the same time. is there like a website or something that could help out with this process that anyone knows about?
Yoten:
Buy a real textbook (the Genki series is good). Or even better, join a class. At the very least, a university near you should have one.
It's very easy to say "Oh, I want to learn Japanese", or "I'll learn it someday", but you will never get anywhere until you start taking action. If you honestly care enough, go do it. Hell, I'm studying abroad for a full year in Japan right now, and even that didn't take TOO much effort. Just a lot of paperwork... :x

My biggest problem is that im still in school and work takes up most of the rest of my time so a textbook series would be great thanks for the idea im going to look into it. Thanks
hellbent:
the problem with those Internet courses are, that if u are like me, u need a real live to person to comminicate with, trust me, its so much easier to go to a class with a bunch of people and listen, than doing it through the internet alone with no help.
debchan:
Yeah, hellbent. I need to hear the language, which is why after a few months of studying on my own, I signed up for some classes.
Brokenimage, there are no shortcuts. A webpage is going to give you basics, but pretty soon you'll hit a wall and get frustrated (at least, that was my experience). The Pimsleur audio courses are pretty good, and they only take a half an hour a day. But even so, nothing replaces the classroom experience and having a teacher to explain the things you still won't understand.
[sarcasm] I hope the newbie that whined earlier really does attempt to learn Japanese. It will only take a few years, and then s/he/it can watch raws without having to wait for those inconsiderate fan subbers. You know, those jerks who provide subs for us, despite not getting anything out of it except whining and hystericals demands for updates and releases. [/sarcasm]
