I'm trying to learn Spanish.  I took a class at a community college and got an A.  But, months later, I forgot what I have learned.

I'm happy to help you understand what it means to be fluent in a language.  Fluency is knowing and understanding many of the words and phrases a person would need to communicate successfully, such as in a conversation or to read a text.

I have no body to practice with.  Most of my Hispanic friends speak English only.

If you want to improve your Spanish, try to get a native Spanish speaker to speak to you in the language every day.  Even if you're just sitting in a park or on a park bench talking, that counts.

I wonder if I can speak with Spanish speaking people online or perhaps I should take a Spanish course online?
user
The online courses may not be able to help you learn enough to have real conversations with Spanish speakers.  Do you have a Spanish-speaking friend who can speak with you daily on Skype, or Hangout, or a similar service?
assistant
No, I don't.
