What websites would you recommend me to find online people I can practice my German with ?

I am an Interior Architecture student at the German Jordanian Uni. OBVIOUSLY learning German in my university is A MUST. I have been learning it for 2 years now, and this semester I am going to finish my last German course. However, I don't think I am capable yet of speaking proper German, due to the lack of practice. So I thought of practicing my German online with people who are welling to help and exchange cultures, ideas, knowledge and interests. Unfortunately I don't know where to find such connections, so any idea? thanx

1. Livemocha.com, busuu.com, italki.com
2. For written German, I would also suggest the German Yahoo Answer (or Clever, as it's called here). Take everything with grain of salt, and if you come across a religious discussion, remember that on the internet every little subculture think they are the center of universe. You can pick up a lot of colloquilisms, some save to use, some not so. If you are into news, there is de.sci.architektur which might interest you on a more serious level. They seem to discuss everything from renovations to city ordinances in proper language. If you want to talk, I am sure you will find something when you search for "Sprachtandem".
