I want to start to learn. I'd be learning from scratch. I know absolutley NOTHING about Japaneese... I am basically looking for textbook series/suggestions, so I don't have to sort through all the mumbo-jumbo they sell all over the place.
Any tips from people who have studied? Which texts worked for you, and which do you suggest?

Well If you're in college, then I would personally suggest that you wait until you graduate. Once that's done, you could just join the JET program. From people I've talked to who've actually participated in the program stated that they didn't know a lick of japanese prior to when they first started the program.
I don't think any textbook would be the greatest tool in learning any language. Learning the written stuff is one thing, but there is nothing like getting spoken knowledge from people speak the language fluently.
Anyways, good luck with your search.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
