I'm forgetting how to speak Japanese

こんにちは!
I studied Japanese for 3 years in highschool which was amazing and my favorite class. I taught myself for a year before I started formal Japanese classes in my highschool. I came into my first year of Japanese class already reading hiragana and already knew quite a lot. I did so well my first 2 years of highschool Japanese that my teacher recommended I skip a level for my last year of highschool. I had Japanese classes 5 days a week for about 50 minutes a day, which was great and I learned a lot. By the time I finished 3 years of highschool level Japanese I could read and write hiragana and katakana fluently as well as some kanji, and hold very basic conversations. My Japanese teachers in highschool were amazing. I didn't have the chance to take formal Japanese classes since. I watch anime, listen to music, and whatever else I can find in Japanese on Youtube to atleast be immersed. I just recently got back into learning Japanese on my own more regularly. I practice reading, writing and listening almost 24/7. Everything but speaking seems to be coming back to me. I find Japanese grammar and sentence structure really easy to learn. Everyone says Japanese is hard, but I've had a much easier time learning Japanese over French and Hebrew. I don't know when I'll next be able to take formal classes. I really miss the formal structure of 50 minutes a day, 5 days a week that I had in highschool. Any advice or tips on what to do?

Find a Japanese speaking partner and practice. Just Google it, there are plenty. Some are private individuals and some are teachers in language schools. Prices range from free and up.

I'm running into the same problem. The only way to keep up your language skill is to keep it in use. Look for a Japanese cultural centre in your city. A lot of places will have informal meet ups for people to get together to speak to each other in Japanese.
