Practice! Practice! Practice!

I went out to see the cherry blossom. It was a nice warm day.
A foreign girl about 10 years old was being taken a picture by her father in front of the full bloom.
One of my friends asked her parents ' If you don't mind, could I take a picture with your daughter? ' because she was so pretty, but he was ignored by them.
I think they didn't understand Japanese.
I could interpret that words, but I didn't say anything. I hid that I can speak English a little.
I wish I could speak English with confidence in my friends.

For the purpose,I need to do practice! practice! practice!

I wish I could speak English with confidence among (or: in front of) my friends.

There may have been a cultural difference too, Yuri. In Britain, many people would be suspicious if a stranger asked to take a photograph of their child.

To 'have her/his/your/their/my/one's picture taken' is an idiomatic phrase which you can use when describing someone who is being photographed; it is important to keep the right word order.
