Help with verbal speaking?

Question

Hi, everyone! I'm new to the forums.

As a Spanish 3 learner in the USA, I've always gotten A's and been considered one of the best in my class as a student, based on test scores and fulfilling assignments... but recently I tried to speak to a Spanish friend, and it turns out I'm a lot worse than I think. The things I learn in class don't seem to follow me when I speak to others, it seems--and I don't know what to say, as well as stumble over words and such.

I know the practical solution is to go outside and practice more, but I'd really like to be able to speak to some people on Spanishdict. I'm not sure if this is against the rules, but I'd love to request to voice chat via Skype with a few people to learn to speak Spanish better... if this IS against the rules, please let me know and I will request elsewhere!

But if anyone is interested, please let me know. I'll definitely be happy to exchange Skypes and improve my Spanish verbally and conversationally!

Thank you!

I'm a beginning learner of Spanish, so I'm not the one with whom you want to converse, but you get my vote for having filled out your profile without being asked and for showing initiative in your pursuit of fluency. - AnnRon, Sep 19, 2015

We used to have a chat-group ages ago, maybe it could be started again? The difficulty is the time-difference...One person's day is another's night.. - annierats, Sep 19, 2015

Thanks so much for everyone's feedback and upvotes! This is one of the nicest forums I've been on. I got a message, and I'd appreciate anyone else, regardless of level, who wants to voice chat, seeing as I speak like a beginner myself. Thanks to all! - LeRed, Sep 20, 2015
