Yookoso is a textbook for J-Class, it's damn good for techincalites; Kanji & Kana and A Guide To R&W Jap are both amazing Jyouyou Kanji reference indexes; Oxford is a pocket dictionary since it lists everything in Kana and gives multiple verb forms; Kanji For 1st is a fullout Japanese workbook, no English. Having a real workbook is great so you can learn how real Japanese learn. Also try and find some Japanese newspapers to brush up with.
I also listen to J-Music to help me recognize those new words I learn. Another good aid is Pimsleur. 90 lessons at 30 minutes each, it's amazing for listening since it uses native Japanese speakers.
Also, www.japan-guide.com is awesome. Go there, get some penpals, and really try to find someone in your area to practice with in person. It worked for me, we exchange both languages and it helps to be corrected by someone who knows. You learn much faster.
Most of this I've done on myself, I didn't even bother with a class. Having a friend who is Japanese is great because you can have a day where you hang out and decide JUST to utilize Japanese, you'll learn damn fast when you want that sandwich you can't order.
Most of the work is on yourself to force yourself to be immersed by the language.
