Anyone speak Japanese?

I have an A* at GCSE Japanese (I taught myself) and to try improve and keep it up I would like to talk to some one who speaks it.

I'm not fluent, but I am pretty confident. I'm not confident enough with complex grammar because I don't have anyone teaching me, but I think practice will help. For my GCSE oral exam I got full marks (A*) and for the reading and listening exams I got an A* too. I got an A in the writing paper. I enjoy the language, but I don't think I have the skill to teach myself the AS Level

What resources did you guys use and find helpful for Japanese? Any free stuff you particularly recommend?

Never underestimate how useful Wikipedia can be. I also listened to A LOT of music. YouTube is good for that. Also there are plenty of great apps for android (and a few for iOS). I particularly like Akebi. There is a great website learning vocabulary, it can't help with grammar unfortunately, memrise. Then an online database of example sentences, tatoeba. There's another website I like as well, but I can't remember what it's called. All free. Then theres Japanesepod101, they're paid but occasionally they have free bonuses and rewards for doing stuff like filling in surveys

On my phone so can't type in Japanese. If you're using casual speech, avoid 'anata' and instead use something like kimi or just say their name. Also, in casual you don't say 'ka' especially without desu. And, you can't say mo ka. I'd say: Kimi/name mo genki? (raise intonation)
Or, if formal, anata/name mo genki desu ka?

I study Japanese at university. I'm in second year.
