I understand English, but I have a hard time talking to someone face to face. Do you have any suggestions on this?

This is always my problem with other languages. I understand Hebrew and Spanish quite well, but struggle when I have to talk. When I study/practice these languages, I always focus on the stuff I'm best at bc speaking is scary, and then my speaking never improves. You need a speaking buddy who you are really good friends with and who DOESN'T MAKE YOU FEEL NERVOUS OR JUDGED. Your hard time speaking probably doesn't come from inability, but from situational stress.
