I think there is no need to feel nervous with foreign people. They are humans like us.

Keep practicing, either with someone or if by yourself, in front of a mirror or something. That might help. Good luck!

@storedisplaystand That is why I suggested practicing in private first before speaking in public. You have to start somewhere, once you get used to it things will be easier.
