how to be confident in speaking English???

 I've joined an English speaking club in my college since the last semester started. After that, I can chat with other people in English bravely. However, I just cannot speak English "fluently" with my classmates or foreigners.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME HOW TO BE CONFIDENT WHEN I'M SPEAKING ENGLISH??

Thank you!!

I am a native English speaker and I feel sorry for people when they find it difficult to communicate in English which is not their fault apparently cause their native language is different. It's unfair that they have to spend a lot of their valuable time and money to learn English only because it is spoken all over the world and they need it learn to communicate to foreigners. People like me from English speaking countries learn it naturally just because of the 'lottery' that we were born in an English speaking country. So unfair!

I know my words don't make any sense but I was just thinking...

Hello im joining the english club which is debate division in my school too and its make my conversation so much better now. I was same like you before i joined this club cause i was think my english is very suck. But i tell you, change your mind. Never think about it cause it can make u nervous . U have to practice ur english more . For ex: sometimes i speak alone with english if i hear a bad news like something happen in my country ,or i often watch the movie with english subtitles so i can practice my english more and i can know how they speak and some much more. The point is dont get nervous and practice more!! :D

Bravery is like a muscle, because it grows with use. The more often you speak English the easier it will become.

Find a couple of language partners online and do some extra practice one-on-one with them. I feel the group setting of the club can put some extra pressure in terms of competing (or, feeling like you are competing) with other people for time, and enhance performance anxiety. 30 or 60 minutes of talking calmly with someone will gradually speed up the process of getting you where you want to be.

My advice is a little bit different. Realize you may never feel 100% confident speaking English and DO IT ANYWAY. I always feel nervous, sometimes even terrified, when I speak another language with someone. Don't think about whether you are "fluent." Don't think about whether you "feel brave." Just feel afraid or nervous, it's okay... but keep doing it!
