Hello,

I've studied Japanese through texts for the last five years for at
least three hours a day. To make a short story long, it has been
Pimsleur, Makino (refs, textbooks and audio), Jorden (all texts and
audio), Alfonso, Chino, most of the Power Japanese, Bonjinsha
kanji, blah. Repeated it all for effect.

With no one to talk to, I can read somewhat but can't produce an
ounce of speech.

I recommend you start writing some Japanese here.
I don't say you must write entire post in Japanese, but I assume
you should be able to write the last sentense above in Japanese,
for example.

Yep, the penpal that Bart is talking about is me. :-p
