Looking for a Japanese studying partner. Not a language exchange partner

I would like to make it clear that I already have a teacher (community tutor) who helps me out and we've corresponding for over a year now. However, I can't always talk to him. I need someone (on days I can't talk to him) like me, who is also learning Japanese (around my same level) that would like to study together. I've noticed that I maintain my motivate when I have someone to study with. If I could have a studying partner who's in a similar time zone that I can study with and then check back with my teacher, that would be a DREAM. I have a flexible schedule, I use Skype the most. However, I also have Google Hangouts, Facebook and very recently Line. I would like to correspond every day or as much as possible. For that reason alone, I wouldn't mind if more than one person sends me a message. If you would still like help for English, I can accommodate that. I won't turn anyone down.  Just send me a message. 

PS: Also if you use twitter a lot to communicate or you're more comfortable in communicating with that, I can also give you my twitter ID and I'll follow you back. 

Easiest way to learn vocabulary words for Japanese speaking. I'm at a point where I know 3-4 thousand vocabulary words, but I don't know in the sense that I could use them in a sentence(which of course means I don't really know them). Is there a way I can learn vocabulary words more easily. I understand using them in a sentence is a great start, though I don't always remember them. Which is why I'm asking in the first place. Same with kanji. I "know" about 800. Could really use some help. Any or a lot of different views is better than my confusion right now. I will need to dig deep to get this conjugations for verbs ad-verbs and the such, but that isn't worst. It is hard to use anything in a sentence if you can't remember the word. The more people respond the better.
