Your written English is very good so whenever you meet someone just smile and try your best. They will aprreciate you making the effort even if you both can not understand all of what the other person is saying. Have fun with it and relax and the friendship will soon build. Good luck. Ellie :D

Just be confident and practice a lot. I heard that watching TV shows for the kids can be of more help to you in conversing with foreigners. Plus, try to write all your thoughts in papers, it should be in English. Soon, you'll be more confident and fluent.

Don't be afraid to meet foreigners, they do not bite LOL. But it would really help you a lot if you improve your communication skills. Here in my country, English is our second language, so most of us here can relate well to foreigners. Besides, there is that non-verbal communication to back you up.

There lots of ways to improve so long as you've made up your mind and efforts meanwhile. Language learning takes time to see the progress, so just be patient and wait a little bit longer to see the result. Making foreing friends is ok and hope you enjoy learning.
