What can I do to have more confidence? I can talk to my friends from school in english, but when I'm about to talk to someone who actually speaks the english as a first language I freeze :l

Just now viewing this. Italki should give notifications for responses to posts. At any rate, great job on seeking the answer to your question. If you'd like to work on your speaking, I could send you my Skype screen name. Just send me a message and let me know. P.S. - If you can, please use "Native American" rather than "Indian." There is quite a controversy in regards to what is the correct term.

Oh hey I just found the answer :D Yes! You want native English speaker, not English native speaker. Here is the reason: A person who speaks English is an English speaker. The person (the English speaker) is speaking English in a native manner. Native modifies "English" and not the person (speaker). A native person is someone who is living in the place where they were born, or the original inhabitants of a country (native Americans were called Indians) Thus, the correct sequence is native (which modifies) English (which modifies) speaker.

Thanks, I try to and I practice when I'm alone in my room, but when I'm going to speak with someone (an english native speaker or a native english speaker haha I'm not sure about that <-), I can't even pronounce correctly.. I need to start practicing more by talking to people than talking to myself :D I would love to learn french but I will try to speak english fluently first haha

In reading your entries, you are great in articulating yourself. You seem to make a few minor mistakes here and there, but your message is quite clear. Don't worry. I have been speaking French for some time and I still have moments where I can be really shy and timid. I agree with Leandroadolfo. Also, like anything else in life, through practice we become better as we learn from our mistakes.
