It's official, our Japanese language school is changing classes to Thursday nights next year. Several of my classmates are in the same boat as me: Thursdays just don't work.

We also discussed the need to get supplemental Japanese study materials.
This is another area that is worth exploring - online independent courses. Here are some courses that I've found:
