Can I become fluent without a practice partner?

Yes, for the mechanical part. Speaking out loud to a timer, to recordings of your own voice, or to an AI partner trains retrieval and pronunciation without anyone else present. What a partner adds is unpredictability — someone going off-script — so once you can hold a thought, borrow a real person for that part.

Solo practice removes the two things a partner provides: surprise and accountability, so replace them deliberately. Surprise comes from a question bank you did not choose or from drawing topics at random. Accountability comes from a fixed daily slot and a recording you have to listen back to. Do both, and solo practice carries most of the weight until you can borrow a real conversation once a week.
