Any recommendations on how I should go about this?. I'm ordering a really good headset and I just want to go crazy and practice speaking (Skype,etc,etc). Any tips on how I should do this well? What would you guys recommend I do?

Any help would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Find a language partner on lang-8 or Shared talk.

How good is your Japanese? If you're up for it give atskype.jp a shot.

Its a lot better than the others because the Japanese people there don't know as much English as at the other places. If they know any. Less sterile "language exchanging" and more interacting with real people who just happen to speak Japanese.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Maybe you could give verbling a shot.

Working on that, plus taking  J-J class/volunteering at a J-J place this January. Working on getting translation work as well.

Thanks for the awesome resource (bookmarked). I get where your coming from, since it's more just interacting with Japanese people but without the "language exchange" stamp in front of it.

I'll test it out and let you know how it goes. Thanks again!
