How can I get use to talking in Korean? My mind has a tendency to just blank/space out when I'm spoken to in Korean. Perhaps it's because I'm not used to having someone speak to me often in Korean that I just tend to freeze on the rare occasion it does happen. In my situation, should I just try to make Korean friends who are willing to speak to me in Korean? I'm actually a person with not that many friends so I don't know how to go about this. Please suggest something! Thank you.

The best way to improve your speaking is to speak :) You could try looking for a tutor or exchange partner. The former costs money, and the latter can be a bit trickier to find. You also must spend time helping them with their English (if you're doing an exchange). You could try finding "friends" online or in real-life (depending on your area). You might also want to identify issues with conversations. Do you have some sort of social anxiety or such that makes communicating in general difficult? Or that makes speaking in situations you're not confident in (such as speaking in Korean) difficult? If so, this could be a psychological, not linguistic issue. Do you have weak listening skills (typical for people who study on their own)? Do you lack adequate vocabulary? Do you struggle with grammar? Once you can pinpoint some issues, focus on resolving them by practicing, therapy, classes etc^^
