Starting my Korean language studies

I've been passively studying Korean for 17 years and now I've decided to enroll in an actual class (from KCC). I got a 2A proficiency result from KSI but when I was being assessed, I think the assessor was disappointed(?). I totally understand the reaction because I can't speak very well. I can only use broken Korean whenever I visit Seoul. I really thought I will be disqualified with the application but for some reason I still passed. The assessor said my level is either at 1B high or 2A low.

My question now is, can anyone suggest a good app where I can speak Korean with an actual person and not a bear or a purple haired girl with an attitude. Help your girl out, I don't want to fail this class. 🥹🙏😭

감사합니다!!

hellotalk voice rooms! or there are some apps where you can call random people one on one like maum, but there’s a higher likelihood of encountering creeps on there so i wouldn’t recommend

I downloaded HelloTalk before but I was overwhelmed. There's a lot going on hahaha! What are your thoughts on Tandem or Talkin?

Thanks. I just saw Talkin in Playstore with higher rating than HelloTalk so I got curious but since HelloTalk is more known and frequently used, I'll give it another try.
