It takes practice. How about practice together.

I found there are sites, that people can organize "online" meetings and gathering of all kinds.
And I see there are several "mandarin groups" for mandarin learners to join and meet together
(physical, not online) to practice mandarin. Not sure if there are such groups in your area.
Some sites are free and some are not and they have different functions inside the sites.

Could you provide some links, perhaps?

Also, if anyone has any experience with attending these events, it would be interesting to hear
their impressions.

meetin.org
It's free. I think you can go apply for your city, if your city is not on the list. It's 'org' and
run by volunteers.
meetup.com
To become a member it's free, but to start a group (that is to become an organizer), it's not free.
I heard: It was free, but then they change the policies and is not free anymore. This reason is
one of the inspiration of why meetin.org was established.
I think both have their own advantage.
edit:
And please use common sense, when going to meet events, be safe.

Anything can work and be pretty good as long as someone makes sure that goals are set. Meetup is
free. From their "agreement":
Quote:
Fees and Payments - General. Access to our website and use of selected features of our Platform is
free. We may charge fees for various premium features and services that we offer.
.
I'm guessing these fees are for advertising.
I've been to a few meetups and there has always been a good mix of native speakers, advanced
learners, and beginners. Just be sure to meet in a public place.

Nobody on this forum thinks about getting together on Skype to chat?
LaoZhang -
I'm sure people have though about it, but it appears as though no one has proposed it.
Why don't you set up a Skypecast? Then anyone can join in the fun.

It is a good idea, but I am not the appropriate person to do it - I can not force others to speak
my own language.
LaoZhang -
I don't think anyone is forcing anyone. Lots of people speak are speaking lots of languages
willingly.

What time do you want to do the skype cast?
perhaps on a weekend as us in China can join it more easily without worrying about work.
We could discuss chinese news articles or TV shows perhaps?
have fun,
Simon
