Re: Ranting into the void here, I'm sure, but I have got to vent.

There's always dramas on the internet? I shit you not, that's hands down one of the best ways to practice listening. Don't bother with anime, you want a really naturalistic slice-of-life drama were the people aren't ridiculous caricatures. Read the Kanji is also fantastic for kanji drilling. I doubt I would have passed N1 without it.

Eh, they're there because they have to be. We all are. We're students on a government fellowship program and the JSL course is mandatory for receiving our stipend. Also, we only have to pass, and I can tell many of my fellow classmates are taking the "Cs-get-degrees" approach.

I might have to get into that. Would you suggest going for subtitled dramas or going all out and just trying to pick up words when I can?
There's an online program called memrise I've been using as I still get katakana mixed up (good to go with hiragana) and kanji, I've got maybe 15 down with meanings but 10 I could actually say without looking up. /all over the place

Ekk, your classmates are going to be surprised when they graduate >_> I'm heading home (at work), so thanks for the suggestions :D I figure if I JUST KEEP CHIPPING AT IT I will eventually reach a good conversation level.

Good luck with your classes! I hope your classmates start to pick up in their learning department

Well if you're just starting out, it'll be meaningless to turn the subtitles off - you won't catch much of anything. Just watch with the subtitles on, but actively listening to the words and phrases they use. Try to pick out what means what in a given sentence. Also, practice the pronunciation they use - in a light, naturalistic drama, that's way you'll want to say everything in a normal, daily conversation, too.
