i want to start japatalk again but i don’t know what to do

i used to go on japatalk a lot. i would take two back to back classes every week to do some output exercise (speaking, writing, etc).

i haven’t used it in a year now and i really want to continue but i’m a bit hesitant because my japanese is a bit rusty. my reading skill is alright but i need relearn the kanji i’ve forgotten. i’m also not confident with my speaking skills since it’s been a minute since i’ve spoken in japanese. i don’t mind making mistakes but i don’t want it to discourage me from continuing.

i’m thinking of asking the instructor to focus on writing prompts as homework. i’ll write, let them review it, and then i’ll read it out loud to improve my pronunciation. i’d do role play (is that the right term?) but, again, i’m not confident enough.

what do you think i should do?

i’d appreciate all the advice you have. thank you in advance!
