Bata-kun seems to be away from his desk for a moment, so allow me to step in and reply:
Step one: Learn kanji.
Step two: Keep a Mead Composition notebook with you at all times, in which you write tick marks every time you truly master a new kanji.
Step three: When you've learned exactly two hundred and fifty kanji, post a personal ad (in English) on one of various friend-finding services catering to relationships between J-people and non-J-people; at the end of the personal ad, be sure to include the words "I speak Japanese" (this is crucial)
Step four: get a Japanese girlfriend
Step six: (step five is omitted for reasons of taste) Scream "SHORYUUUUKEN"
Step seven: if she doesn't get the reference, then it has nothing to do with your unmastery of Japanese -- she's just not interesting enough to keep as a girlfriend :(

THAT explains a lot.

Ha ha ha!
Yeah, learn kanji little by little and watch live series. The Japanese there is more standard than if you let's say, play a game. Hope that helps.

Wow! Very good avice! Is it possible to get a girlfriend even if I'm an otaku? I've had very bad luck with women , any advice on that? Should I get an otaku girlfriend ? Or should I let homosexuality take over ? Please help .
Arigato gozaimasu mina san!

Watching anime is just as bad as playing a game. There are not really any series that you can watch that will help you out in regards of standard Japanese. Ghibli movies are probably your best bet, but even then, I still wouldn't use them as sources.
A list of often used words. That'd take forever and I doubt you'd want a real long list. You saw Tim and I say "kanji". That's one word that's said quite often.

Learning Kanji is more fun than memorizing the phone book, and about as logical.
If you think about it like that, it's not that tough at all!
Play to win.
