Hi, I've been learning polish by myself for the past year. I am able to read and understand quite a bit...but when it comes to speak I usually get stuck! and that is kinda frustrating :(....Anyway I was wondering if there is a class or a speaking club or something like that in the Washington DC area, I will appreciate the info or any other suggestions to improve my speaking skills, thanks :)

If you have pronunciation problems and don't have anyone to ask you can always try ivona.com

Just enter whatever you need into the textbox and hit play. If it's more about the conversation try finding someone, on skype or language exchange sites, who can chat with you every now and then.

Has anyone ever tried to speak to another learner of Polish? Is there any advantage to this? I am sure there are disadvantages because you are not communicating with a native speaker etc.

Well I'm pretty sure that finding a native speaker is always the best solution in learning foreign languages, especially Polish with its relatively difficult pronunciation. You really should look on the Internet and chat via skype or something it will help you a lot, it's the most important thing to speak, even if it sounds terribly at first. Good luck!

I tried this a few times but I found it difficult to have some kind of a structure or plan when talking with the other person, there was no purpose to our conversations.......... I hope that you know what I am talking about.

How did you organise the time/what to learn with the other person?

Propose playing a scene (in shop, in restaurant). Try to prepare useful phrases before and use it in conversation.
