I knew one person who learned Japanese, and she learned it by spending a year in Japan.

Other than that, I would suggest taking a class.

The second sentence of what Tropic said 🙂
I'd suggest a class at a community college, perhaps purchasing language learning software...I've never learned Japanese, but I'm fluent in two languages besides my own and am learning a third 🙂

I highly recommend Rosetta Stone, though it's expensive. Learning a new language (and remembering, and getting good at it...) is an enormous challenge. good luck! 😀

Or the Pimsleur Method. It is expensive too.

Use as many methods as possible. I haven't yet freed up time for a class in Japanese, but I'm using books, Rosetta Stone, and Japanese lessons on my iPod. There I use both Pimsleur and free podcasts from japanesepod101.com.

There are some excellent Japanese writing books available from amazon and other book stores. I first took a class in university and then got the 'living language' course and a little course from Japan Airlines. I don't think it's any harder than other languages, and I speak six, but for the fact you have to learn a new writing system.
