Oh well thats simple . aha for one writing doesn't require face -to-face talking so any nervous habits or awkward silent moments can be eliminated . Learning a new language is fun and writing is definitely a huge step in learning but if you can't say what you wrote that could be a problem . My parents are both spanish but i never learned spanish until the end of last year so I'm rough in speaking it even though I definitely write it well enough. I always get nervous or worried that I'm pronouncing a word wrong or I blank out on what to say since in writing I can at least pause and think about making the sentence perfectly sound right. Its hard but honestly practicing with other people even if you make mistakes is super helpful because they can help you correct your pronounciation and after a while it'll be normal because repeating words over and over again ..haha its gonna eventually become part of your basic vocabulary.

Hello, I also have this problem. I'm afraid to speak English because i think that my pronunciation and grammar is not perfect. Mostly I'm afraid that english-speaking people don't understand me and i'll feel like a fool. So i also need advice how to overcome my fear and shyness.

In China, learning to speak English is not that easy because ESL students hear a wide range of English accents (too many) causing students to pronounce words inconsistently and/or "inaccurately". It is quite common for one teacher to pronounce a word one way and another teacher a different way, leaving the students to fend for themselves.

speaking requires confidence and boldness. making mistakes is the best way to learn. the best thing to do is try to overcome the fear of making mistakes.

Remember that mistakes are good. We learn from our mistakes. 吃一堑长一智。
