Need Help Improving Japanese; looking for a Japanese friend or someone fluent to help

[SSJup81]

Hello there. I'm new around here. I'm currently learning Japanese, but, I don't have anyone to practice speaking and communicating it with. I've been formally studying this for a little over two years, but at a very slow pace since these are lessons and not classes, but, outside of my tutor, I have no way to practice any communicable skills, and because of this, I'm very hesitant whenever I do have to speak, since I'm always second-guessing myself.

I guess what I would like, is a Japanese native or anyone fluent in the language I could correspond with, whether it's through e-mail, snail mail (like a pen-pal), or even through one of the messengers.

My Japanese isn't very good yet, just so you know, and I still don't know much Kanji yet, meaning I can't read most of it unless it has some Furigana involved.

I don't know what I can offer, but I am a native English speaker, so maybe I could help one with his or her English if he or she helps me with brushing up and sharpening my Japanese skills.

Thanks and you can either post here in this topic, PM me, or either e-mail me.

Hello! I'm also new here!!

I'm from Japan and speaks Japanese as my native language so maybe I can help about your Japanese if you wish. But I'm not so good at English....and sometimes my English grammar is horrible. I'll try my best. if you don't mind that I would like to be your friend.
