To be perfectly honest, i've been here 6 years 3 months and i'm pretty much ashamed of the state of my Japanese. But that's a whole different topic.
Japan is great and all, but really, with zero japanese the gate comes crashing down on you in a number of areas, but you can survive for sure.

Before returning to Japan this september I spent 2 years back in the UK where I didn't study Japanese one bit. Of course before those two years I spent almost 3 years in Japan. What really gets me down at times is how much I really want to speak well and sometimes I can't get across exatcly what I want to say. I feel, that I want, need, have to, talk to everyone about anything in any situation otherwise I'm useless.
I can't sit idle and let my Japanese decay, I have to keep progressing or become majorly depressed that I can't speak and complain that I don't understand instead...
