Hi guys, I don’t usually use the forum but i should, I have been learning for abut three years from various sources, now i have many friends and no many words, but my grammar, is still horrible, i try to use lang-8 but i really feel bad about it because it is absorbing(using a translator).
I am a writer by trade, and so i speak deeply, now that i have so many friends, and feel something a little less then begginer, its frustrating to not be able to say the things i have practiced.
I have a lot of language partners, but im not learning how to speak..this is a problem and i’m not sure how to solve it, i have wasted a lot of time watching dorama and experimenting with nico nico in order to hear Japanese.
How can i stay diligent?
Welcome to TextFugu, Trevor!
Good luck learning Japanese.
P.S. I don’t have time to answer your question right now because I have School but hopefully somebody else can help and/or wait until I get home.

Hey welcome to Textfugu. Where are you from by the way?
Welcome Trevor,
You mentioned watching Dorama, but have you tried shadowing? Koichi just posted a nice guide on this over at tofugu just the other day:

Give it a whirl?
trevor – welcome! It is hard to make a transition between textbook Japanese and real life. Have you tried talking to people over Skype? That might be an option. Or the shadowing that Ncroleptic mentioned.
Good luck!
