I am going to be using italki and maybe HelloTalk to practice speaking. I was wondering how many times a week and how many hours in the day would you practice speaking if you could?
It really depends on the level you’re at. If you have a lot of grammar points and vocabulary built up that you want to practice using so you don’t forget them or just generally get used to using them, I’d say maybe 1 to 2 hours a week if you have the skills for it. If you’re at the beginning stages of “it’s cold outside” “I like cats, what animals do you like?” Maybe a couple 15 or 20 minute sessions with an English/Japanese speaking tutor a week to get used to speaking to another person, using the words you know, hearing it being spoken to you and working on pronunciation and pacing.
