Those who are learning Japanese can practice here by having conversations with one another in Japanese. Preferably with the actual kana and kanji (although you don't need to). But you can still show the sound of the kanji by showing the kana in parentheses after the kanji. Such as, for the kanji for light(hikari): 光(ひかり). If you don't know a word, you can just ask: [insert word here] wa nan desu ka/[insert word here]はなんですか/[insert word here]は何ですか. The answer would be [word]は[meaning]. An example: 光(ひかり)は light. Or 光(ひかり)はlightです.
I hope that was helpful. Now, onto the Japanese!
P.S. I understand that most of these conversations might just be short little things because of limited Japanese, but hopefully we can improve through this thread.

I would suggest that everyone install the browser add-on Rikaichan (firefox)/ Rikaikun (google chrome), Yomichan if (when) you use Anki flashcard app (desktop), KanjiTomo (desktop). These are different word/kanji recognizition programs that will quicken your look-up process and help you rely less on furigana/readings for typed Japanese on screen. I've been meaning to start a thread for Japanese study/Japanese study resources. I have a lot more than that, and I'll include some better descriptions once I get around to it. Feel free to add any of your own in the meantime and we can make a master list or something.

誰(だれ)が一番(いちばん)ファンですか。 What's your OS? Are you using Firefox or Google Chrome? Like I mentioned if you use Rikaichan or Rikaikun you can easily read Japanese online without furigana. I can look for alternatives for your browser but I can't guarantee any results. :-\

I'm on chrome and I looked up rikaikun (I think that's the one that was for chrome, right?), but I haven't gotten it yet. I looked up your sentence with Google Translate, but that can't always be trusted, so I just wanted to make sure (the translation wasn't right anyway, but I wanted to be sure of the kana).
ハ、本当(ほんとう)。

一番(いちばん)can be "the best", "# 1" (#1 fan), "first" All depends on context I suppose.
え、クロムをもってりかいくんが機能します。 (I don't think this is completely correct, forgive me. orz) Yup, Rikaikun works with Chrome.
