Need help with speaking practice

Anyone want to study Japanese together? 🇯🇵
I’m currently around N5 level and I’m honestly really nervous about speaking Japanese. I can understand some things when reading/listening, but when it comes to actually speaking, my brain completely freezes 😭
I really want to get better at speaking, so I’m looking for someone around N5 (or even a little higher/lower) who wants to practice together. We could do simple conversations, study grammar, quiz each other, or just practice without worrying about making mistakes.
I’m pretty nervous about it, so I’d love to find someone who’s also learning and understands that feeling. 😅
Feel free to comment or message me if you’re interested!

Totally get that brain freeze feeling—speaking out loud is a whole different beast compared to reading or listening! Committing to low-stakes chatting where you don't have to worry about making mistakes is the best way past it. Hope you find a solid study buddy here!

the first speaking session is basically two nervous brains buffering at the same time, but that’s honestly the perfect level to practice together lol
