1.)  Start Speaking Straight Away: The biggest mistake I see people make is trying to learn too much grammar and memorize 100's of words before they can even speak a full Japanese sentence. What this causes is a student to either get bogged down in boring grammar and then end up giving up or simply memorizing loads of words but not being able to formulate them into a Japanese sentence.

A great online Japanese course which I will discuss in a moment will teach you, by getting you to listen to real conversations from the word go and participate so you will learn Japanese sentences in no time. This trains your ear much faster and is way more enjoyable.

2.) Learn Japanese Online: I can not stress this enough. You will save a stack load of money on lessons online, and the convenience that online Japanese learning offers is unbeatable. There are some outstanding learn Japanese online courses which give you the freedom to take your lessons whenever you like.

Not only that anyone in your family can learn too but you only pay for one course! The prices are much more affordable because you aren't getting lumped with the factored in costs of shipping, material, teachers fees or classroom rent to name a few. With modern technology being so advanced online courses are able to use high quality multimedia software that makes you feel like you are in the classroom.

3.) Learn To Speak Before You Read: This may sound rather strange however in order to speak conversational Japanese quickly you don't actually need to know any of the Japanese writing characters, because there is another writing system called Romaji which is Japanese words using English letters. Often people get put off, or their progress slowed by trying to learn too many characters. However you are much better off becoming confident in speaking first and then moving onto reading and writing Japanese later, and thanks to Romaji you can do this.

4.) Practice what you learn with native speakers: The beauty of learning Japanese online is that a good course will very quickly (8 weeks) get you to a level where you can confidently practice with native Japanese speakers, and this is where you really start to become fluent. If you don't know any Japanese people then you can become friends with some via pen pal and world friends sites quicky and easily. Many Japanese people are just waiting to exchange English for Japanese. Of course if you have the money then visiting Japan is also a great idea.

5.) Mix Up Your Learning: In order to keep your interest high and also to develop your ear in different situations, you need to practice what you learn in a number of ways. For example when you are at decent level after say after a few months then you can try watching Japanese DVD's and Anime, also listen to Japanese music and radio (easily done online for free), and even watch Japanese T.V shows on YouTube for fun. Either way the more you train your ear in different situations the faster you will learn.

There you have it, the best way to learn Japanese!!
