I started with a textbook and a lot of conversational practice with strangers on the internet using grammar from the textbook. IT was 95% conversation based but with a syllabus (the textbook)

Awesome, such strangers on internet are truly great person..

I've seen more good personalities on internet than in real life.

That's sad but I understand. I only started meeting cool people when I started traveling. I mean there were OK people but I think many of us need to get outside out cultural limitations to really flourish and evolve.
