I guess it depends where you live, but usually if you live in a big or even medium city, you should be able to find a language partner in the language you're learning (if it's not a rare language).
I don't know if it exists in your city, but in Paris, something I really enjoyed was going to a multilingual café. It's called Polyglot Club and you can basically register in their website before a meeting that the café organizes in the evening with people speaking all kinds of languages. You can make good friends and practice with them, then keep in touch with them...
I'm sure you must have these kind of events somewhere where you live, but you can try to look for it on internet. Of course it's not easy at the beginning, you need to step out a bit of your comfort zone, but come on, if you really want to learn the language, you gotta speak it right? So go for it. If you hesitate too much, you'll end up never doing it. You have to make the first step with all your courage, and afterwards things will become much easier and natural. Good luck with that!
