Try listening to songs in English, and sing the lyrics. That will get you to speak fast. Also, you'll practice your English by yourself and you'll be more confident once you talk to people.

And yes, going to church helps you since it gets you to talk to people(:

Don't worry, have confidence in yourself. You'll never speak good English if you take the chance (;

Good luck!!
