Another thing that can really work are setting up language exchanges. This can be done by searching and setting up times over Skype, for instance. Skype seems to have plenty of Chinese and Spanish speakers that want to practice English, and then you get the chance to practice with them as well. I’m sure there are plenty of other language users on there, that’s just what I’ve personally noticed a lot of )

Just search by country, send a friendly message, and see if they bite on the idea. It shouldn’t take too much work to find someone willing to set up a weekly time. Also, there are plenty of international sites you could go on to find someone to Skype with.
