I practice talking to myself, but that's not enought, though I'll try to do that more often. I also have been listening a lot more japanese daily (sound files of JLPT 3 and 4, cd's from Genki and an integrated approach to intermediate japanese, etc etc...), and my listening skills are improving I believe.
Do you have any tips? There's no way to have japanese friends because there are no japanese here.
If you know any threads regarding this let me know.

The best way to learn, speaking or writing, is to have someone who is willing to do the bad guy part and tell you where you have done wrong. I take the liberty to be a bad guy this time. If you don't like it, just tell me and I will be a good guy.
Your signature has a few problems.
日本語と中国語を勉強しています。勉強のが好きです。 (勉強が好きです should have no の)
アジア研究の一年生です。中国語は私の専門です。(You should avoid です…です…です…, use で to combine two sentences, e.g. アジア研究の一年生で中国語が専門です。)
我学汉语和日语。我喜欢学习。
我是东方学的学生。
A more natural way to rewrite your Chinese would be:
我正在學習漢語和日語，是一個喜歡學習的東方學學生。
As for your question, I suggest you should find some "bad guys" to point out your mistakes in spoken Japanese.
