I'm going into my third semester of Japanese at my local college. We use the Yookoso textbooks and I have just finished the first book.
There is a trip to japan at the end of the semester and I want to be ready.
How and what would you suggest that i study and do before that time? Is there a weekly schedule any of you have set up for yourselves while learning? Japanese has been giving me a lot of trouble, far more than french, spanish, and dutch did....
To people who know japanese better,
I've just completed my third semester of japanese. Its not the best in the world, but if its at least competent then I haven't completely failed.

Just get as much practice speaking as you can. You have a TA right? Just get him/her to correct anything you say wrong and improve your speech. Also get some listening comprehension by listening to some podcasts or watch some raw's etc etc.
Weekly schedule for learning for me is.... (Not taking classes right now self study)
Go over a lesson in my book. Review lesson for two days. Practice lesson. Learn 20 kanji a week. Review. Reading/writing practice

If you're in your third semester, you should have a basic grasp of grammar. You need to practice listening to a native speaker, and building your vocabulary.
I suggest either finding some Japanese children's shows and watching them, or watching some anime and really listen instead of just reading the subs.
And if you're going to Japan, you're going to need to read Kanji. Practice your butt off writing and reading Kanji. I usually spent about 2-3 hours a week of just drilling Kanji.
