Shit happens :)
Sometimes, when you talk in English, you are thinking that you're doing it wrong. It's too difficult to pay attention to everything, the pronuntiation, to not create new words that doesn't exists, and the grammar... For me, the pronutiation is the worst. I'm dare, and every time I can, I try to talk to foreing people and learn a little bit more about another cultures and ways to see the life. But it's horrible when you are trying it hard and they can't understand the word that you just say, only because you don't have idea of how to pronunciate it properly. For example, the word WORD or WEIRD or... AWKWARD, in Spain we don't have the same fonetic and still I don't know how to pronunciate it! It's something funny if I'm in an informal conversation, but when it happens at work... Ooh, it's horrible! So many people try to "calm" you and laught, but others see you like: I hate you, you don't speak well.

I could say things differently but i did not want to change your way of saying things. As a non native speaker, you are not expected to speak the language as the native so don't worry about what others think. What matters is that you are being understood. If you don't know how to say something or you are not sure how to pronounce it, you can just say another word for it or describe it :)
Keep practicing and listen to movies or songs in order to be more familiar with pronunciation.
