Seek actual conversations.

Maybe Korean Associations, travel, find an online chat buddy you can facetime if nobody locally.

Weird side story, when I lived in Mongolia many people would pay me not to learn English but just to have a conversation with a native english speaker. They were motivated to not just learn but also to get better.

Thanks-- I am in a lucky situation where I have no shortage of Korean people to speak with so that's not an issue. I can listen and understand pretty well, but producing Korean feels slow and difficult. It's a plateau I'm trying to overcome and feel like there's no good practice/thing that has helped much.

One recommendation has been to spend more time writing in Korean (like blogging) to better put my thoughts into the language and I guess in theory, means I would become quicker in conversation.
