FInd someone on here who speaks it fluently, buy a microphone, and skype with them.
Have them correct you on pronunciations, etc.
Keep in mind however, a lot of people on here are full of sh and say they can speak Japanese just because they think it will earn them forum cred, or somehow make them cooler. But you should, if you're learning it legit, be able to figure out who actually knows it and who is full of crap. Someone who is fluent to the point that you would want them to be would know any word out there.
Which is why I have a few select RANDOM words from Russian memorized, so when people are like "HAH, I know russian" "HAH, how do you say refrigerator or pastry" (Those words will haunt me, we had a project, and we had to put BIG stickers with the words onto the items at our homes and take pics for the teacher to prove it... EVERY time my fat arse wanted a hot pocket, I saw the word for Freezer staring at me, and every time I needed a new Mountain dew...dear God... Refrigerator, refrigerator, refrigerator... lol

But find a random word you likely won't remember, and if you see someone who seems fluent in it, check it with them, if they pass, exchange skypes, them BAM, you have yourself a friend to practice with! ^.^;;
