Hi Evie, welcome to JapanForum!
It's exciting that you may be able to study abroad! I know I was excited when I went to Japan!
I'm 25 years old and living on the East Coast of the United States. I've been helping out some other Japanese speakers too, so I think I can give you a hand assuming we can find time to talk over Skype. I have also studied Japanese for 4 years, but it's been a while and I could use some practice as well.
My Skype id is the same as here, filiadragongurl. I plan on being on it nights and mornings over weekends since Japan is 14 hours ahead of my time. If you are around, drop me a line. I will send you a PM too since you wrote this thread a while ago.
Good luck finding some good study partners!
