Learn to speak Japanese without girlfriend finding out?

Question

Is there an easy way for me to learn to speak Japanese without my girlfriend finding out?  We don't live together, but she speaks Japanese to her mother, and her mother can barley speak english.  I want to do it as a suprize, to be able to have simple conversations in their language, but I don't want her to find out about until I'm ready to just start speaking to her in that language.

My brother is married to a Japanese woman and they live in Japan.  My 5 year old niece is bi-lingual and interprets for daddy what is being said sometimes.  My brother knows a lot of the basic stuff but your question reminded me and it makes me smile...You should be able to find someone nearby that could help you with the basics without your girlfriend finding out.  What a nice surprise for her!!

There might be websites available online, or a club in your local area. Be careful though - they might be having private conversations and think that you have done it to spy on them!!
