Excuse my japanese but I don't really have the "feel" and flow for the language yet but it's steadily improving. I'm better at understanding text than creating my own sentences like this. Anyway...
日本語を勉強しているけれども、もっと練習する必要はある。
そのため、日本語を勉強している友達が欲しい。
Would be nice with someone who has some good flow and understanding and can answer questions which textbooks and dictionaries can't.
