But to actually learn to speak fluently, you'll need to actually speak the language. Skype helps a lot but I think you won't reach the point where you're actually thinking in Esperanto and answering without a thought unless you actually attend an Esperanto event, where you're living entire days in Esperanto only.
However I will say that you can reach an extremely high speaking level (not necessarily fluently) through Skype and other online resources.

formiĉjo:And for speaking, even having NEVER spoken it before, you can still make ways in your first conversation if you have a high enough level in writing, but music, podcasts etc do well (to add to Formicxjo's suggestion of supplementary material).17colors:Can you learn to speak esperanto fluently using only online sources? How did you reach the level you are today?Yes, I speak Esperanto fluently, amd it is possible. To be truly fluent, you will need supplements, such as novels in Esperanto or even magazines. That's how almost everyone learns.

Jes, mi flue parolas Esperanton, kaj ĝi eblas. Por vere fluiĝas, oni bezonos aldonojn, ekzemple romanoj aŭ eble revuoj. Preskaŭ ĉiu lernas tiel.

When I first tried listening to Radio Verda, all I heard was a steady stream of gibberish. It was very hard for me to pick out even individual words, other than the occasional "kaj" and "estas". And Arono and Karlina speak VERY clearly.
Now, five years later, I don't have too much trouble, although some stuff still gets by me. But I haven't really focused on listening comprehension; nearly all my Esperanto time is spent reading and/or writing, not speaking and/or listening.

RiotNrrd:I think learning to listen fluently is considerably harder than learning to speak fluently.Glad to hear you say that. I've been listening to Radio Verda and a few other Esperanto podcasts for some time now. I can only pick out every 3rd or 4th word and have the most generalized idea of what they are talking about.

Plus when I do hear I word I know, I wind up thinking "I know that word! It means ... " and then miss the next several sentences lost in the though that I heard a word I knew.
17colors:I agree. This will be my only second language. I hope I can get far without giving up..Esperanto is my 3rd language. I only know English well enough to mess it up deliberately. With the other two, messing up comes much more naturally.
