Japanese Evaluation

I have never taken Japanese before or need to start from the beginning.I have studied hiragana and katakana, but know little or no kanji and am unfamiliar with grammar.I have studied basic grammar and I can understand and formulate simple sentences.I can ask and answer short questions such as directions, ordering in a restaurant, introductions, etc.I can follow basic conversation but get lost outside class while conversing with native speakers.I can engage in a simple conversation using present tense and a bit using past tense.I can speak about basic topics, using present, past tenses and some future but need to work on it.I am familiar with several hundred kanji and am comfortable reading and writing Japanese, but speaking and grammar are more difficult.I can engage in complex conversations, using present, past and future but still make mistakes.I can converse about different topics and only occasionally get lost or have to ask for explanations.I speak comfortably and rarely don't understand, yet people always know I am not a native speaker.
