Watashi mo nihongo ga benkyou shiteimasu. ^_^
Japanese is very difficult, and if your taking classes u should be set. nBut you are right, speaking to someone who is Japanese would make good pratice, but heres a good pratice, go to ask, or you tube, and type in a Japanese celebrity, let's say Gakuto, since he was in a lot of commercials. ^_^ if u can understand these then u will be fine. U should watch the ones when he's on set. Also Miyavi, or try japanese music and anime. does this help? I hope so. My japanese isn't so good, ^_^ good job to you for probably knowing more then me. I hope this helps.

Ganbette.
