Learning progress doubt

皆さん、こんにちは

I'm learning Japanese since September 2025. I plan to take my N5 test this December.

I feel I progress in grammar since my teacher goes by the content and I feel happy with him and my classes but I feel all this knowledge is not fully learnt.

For example I might know what ここで写真を撮ってもいいですか?means.

But when talking or writing I struggle to find vocabulary or other than very simple sentences. I feel that combining all that I "know" to create much richer texts is very difficult yet.

I do use Anki daily to get my vocab to grow, try to listen to 1 hour daily of comprehensible input. Honestly talking and writing is what I lack some practice maybe but I don't have any other tools than talking to my teacher or practicing with chatgpt writing.

What tools or strategies do you use to practice vocab, speaking and writing?

Thanks everybody!
