This is a picture for my friend 
pekepeke3. He helps me with my Japanese and his character is so cute! He draws small noses, so I thought this would be funny.
The Japanese symbols read:
Left: "I have a small nose!"
Right: my signature
これはえをのためにわたしのともだちです pekepeke3. かれはわたしの日本語とたすけるとかれキャラクターはとてもかわいいです！ かれは小さいのはなをかく。 ぼくはこれがおもしろいと思った。

At first, I couldn't see the two marks above the "Ho" hiragana due to how unnoticeable it is, until I resized it to make sure I wasn't going blind. :u
My Japanese is less advance than yours. However, while I know some, or half, of the hiragana and barely can write them out, I'm quite fluent in hearing and speaking it. I'm not sure why, though.

For that to be unnoticable you must have been viewing the picture at the smallest size. You are probably better at speaking and hearing it because you don't see the Hiragana at that point. like with me, I'm better at reading and writing it than I am at hearing it. Speaking I don't have too much trouble with. It's easier for me to understand it visually than verbally.
yes I understand the difference and this is an older picture. Japanese is not my first language and I did not know very much at the time, but I like to try. I know more now though such as the difference between arimasu and imasu. While I do get confused on when to use them, there is only so much I can learn with books and no one to speak to.
The secret to learning Japanese is to immerse yourself :3
This internet is full of resources I use all the time myself, so, there really is no excuse to learn it XD
Yeah, I know, Japan is awake while we are mostly asleep, so, its not easy to talk to a Japanese person.
However, if you mimic Japanese news stations or try to pick up on their language with observation and listening comprehension, I had a real Japanese person through a microphone session tell me I sounded authentic, and he was the first Japanese person I had a conversation with :3
There's plenty of news stations on YouTube with dedicated Japanese news taken directly from Japanese Broadcasts untranslated, perfect for language learning and I utilize it a lot XD
The other alternative is JapanesePod101, while slow paced, it is good for lessons, I use it all the time.
I listen to their podcasts on every update and I learn a lot from it.
Another good way is to browse Pixiv with the rikaikun plugin with supported browsers so you can see the meaning of each word and connect common sense grammar and syntax to understand it all :3
Go to websites with examples and lessons like Genki and other websites that dedicate lessons, while you are not interacting with anyone, these websites teach you words, sentences and meanings Japanese people use to this day, although there is room for interpretation, really, it is up to you what you do.
Google Images is another huge resources, I mean it!
Although you wouldn't think of using Japanese words with images, it is actually a powerful language learning tool because a lot of authentic Japanese people suggest corrections on search terms, even when I was wrong!
Sseriously, Google Images corrected some of my errors in word order or search terms based on what other Japanese people write.
Search Japanese words with Kanji and Hiragana or Katakana instead of Romaji and you will be learning a lot through comprehensive learning :3
Try the Japanese word for Cat, Blue, Fuji san, etc.
The possibilities are endless, just be creative :3

oh I'm not new to the Japanese language. I can pronounce any of the words with ease and I understand pretty much all the particles and other sorts of grammar. I have several books on the language and I use those to study. My dad is part Japanese and my Grandma is fully Japanese. She teaches me some of it but she's been in the US so long that she doesn't remember much. While I do study and learn quite a bit about the language, I cannot fully learn it without speaking to someone. Since the books say it one way then I'm like "oh I understand now" then when I hear someone saying the same thing, it is waaay different. PekePeke has helped me a bit in the past but I don't want to bother him anymore. So I know a lot of words, I just don't know exactly how to piece them together. I have a basic idea, but that's pretty much it. when I speak to Pekepeke, he seems to be able to understand me. So that's good to me.
I wish I could have someone to talk to since it would help tremendously. There are no schools out here that teach it and no one out here speaks it either. So I'm pretty much alone in this.

Which means you have to make the best of what you have, right? :3
Here's the thing, when we hear things, we can easily replicate it after hearing it so many times, just like how listening to English makes you better at it.
Its the same immersion technique we use on a daily basis, but we think we have to be perfect and will be judged badly for it.
The truth of it is, there are plenty of websites out there to hone your Japanese skills, go where the market is, not where the money is.
Its true though, learning from books and other places is good for learning the basics and common sense foundations, but when it comes to learning outside of the box, the internet is the best place to do it :3
For the best of all, going to Japan is the best method, hands down.
I still need to work on grammar and word order, plus jukugo is another one I am learning currently... but seriously, be creative and get yourself out there, the more you think you have less resources, the less you learn :3
I started out with a single jpg chart of hiragana and katakana, that's all.
I studied them until I could read them without going to the chart.
Read raw untranslated Manga and Raw anime, it will help you listen than read the English.
Rewatch shows you watched in subtitles, you will look for the lines you remember and it enforces you to pick out words you know.
Like I said, be creative and immerse yourself :3

I have the motivation, I'm not lacking it if that's what you mean. I'd rather keep studying until I feel I am fluent before I go to Japan. I can read it, write it, and speak some of it. I still need to learn more Kanji but I know a decent amount of it. I know you mean well with what you are saying but I think I'm just getting more and more upset. I'm not doubting myself or anything, I am doing the best I can to learn it. I enjoy reading my books and learning things from them.
