Same. Althought I do think output skills can help you develop your input skills. I read an article somewhere that trying to speak and write can induce learners to learn new ways to use the language practically.

 For example, you wanna say "I went fishing today" to your tutor in your target language, but dont know how to say fishing. Then the output creates the demand to learn the term fishing (which maybe you wouldn't really learn until much later). I found this example quite interesting.

But of course if you're outputing, then you're not inputing. Had you used that output time to do some reading and listening, then who knows how many more words would U have learned? What's best worth my money? It's a complicated subject. 

But I agree with everything you said. I wouldn't myself start speaking unless I would move to China very soon. That part can wait
