My computer is filled with pretty much every single quick guide, walk through, or learning software I could get my grubby little hands on from the library, but I have yet to touch any of them.
My wife and I have a trip to japan coming up in 2018 so maybe that'll light a fire under me to actually learn some of the dang language so I don't look like a complete idiot

Seconded. Also, it's intimidating to think of learning something, especially something difficult like picking up a language. You put it off again and again.
It's a good idea to just decide to learn for 10-15 minutes every day. It's relatively easy to find the time, and istead of the intimidating "I have to learn an ENTIRE language", it becomes "just 10 minutes". And all the days you would otherwise put off the starting point, multiplied by 10 minutes, will add up to a lot.
...I'm fully aware how hypocritical it is of me to give such advice, when I've been putting off learning French and Korean for years now. Ah, screw it, I'm following my own advice, starting today :-D

Welu:
First language is English.
I was taught French for three years and German for five. The French didn't stick at all but I miss understanding German. I've been on/off relearning using Duolingo but haven't made great progress.
