The best way to learn English is to watch TV shows or movies in English and read books in English - it's better than any class or textbook. I think you'll find that speaking develops naturally after that. I'm sure you could find some Skype groups online, but speaking isn't about skill; it's more about getting over the fear of making a mistake. Good luck.
