(Re)Learning Japanese (reading only)

Well I decided I'm going to (re)learn Japanese. However, I only want to be able to read and understand Japanese, I have no current need for writing or speaking Japanese (no doubt I'll still learn it on the way). Reason? Manga, TV and movie subtitles, and video games, mostly for reading. in before "WEEABOO", my automated response to that: "Fuck off."

Current proficiency:

Can read & write Hiragana 100%.
Can read & write Katakana 100%, and decent enough at translating it.
CANNOT read & write Kanji at all, outside of numbers.
Is aware of the difficulty of Japanese grammar, levels of politeness, particles etc... but does not know much about it.

Anyone have any decent Japanese-learning links or download resources (textbooks, audiobooks etc)?

I'm currently going through my old high school textbooks and a Genki Vol.1 e-book. I need a decent hardcopy Japanese dictionary though, know a good one?.

Thanks.

>>35
you probably only think you are good at japanese, i'm guessing you are fagging it up more than you think, that is not to say that you are progressing, but living in japan for 2 years will not get you fluency, japanese is a very fucking hard language to master, sure you may get to the point where you can understand everything said, but trying to reply with an adequate responce at the same level is a different matter, stop trying to fool yourself
>>37 I've only been here for about 6 months, so I still have to give it some time before I'm truly fluent.
go fucking die for this comment
