A chat room to practice my Japanese skills?

Question

I'll be moving to Japan in a year, so I want to be able to speak the language. Know any clean, friendly chat rooms on the internet which can help me improve my language skills?

Answer 2

No no no.

Don't listen to the people above... Well you can, but they don;t have experience with any of those sites, they just did a search and sort of sent you the ideas.

Now i don't know how many times i've recommended this site, but i will continue to forever. I use this site and it is very reliable, no shady characters and it is quite clean. Well, i personally have never encountered  unclean material on it.

The website is:

www.sharedtalk.com

You can practice MANY languages on it, i think about 180 maybe... Japanese included! I use it to practice my Japanese skills. You just go to the Japanese room, or you can choose a private chat with a Japanese speaker. The website allows voice chat too!

Hope the site helps,

Have heaps of fun in Japan!
