hi Victoria, I also speak tagalog and I am learning the english language, I can say that in order to speak is remove hesitation and practice, practice, practice , in that way you will develop your confidence using it and perhaps enrolling in an english class would help you, I've been into this class in Makati and you might want to check thier site , it is a good place to start with, the people there are very accomodating and friendly...you will learn while having fun . http://www.aiepro.org/
