Feeling unmotivated by apps—how to pivot to actual output?

I have been bouncing between Duolingo and other apps for months, but I still can't form a basic sentence in Catalan. I want to stop playing 'language games' and actually start communicating. I've been looking at using Chickytutor.com for conversation practice—is this the best way to get that 'real-world' feedback without needing a private human tutor right away?
