Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Learn to laugh with yourself when you do. We have a saying in English, "take life with a grain of salt," which simply means to relax. Don't try and be perfect. If someone does laugh, most likely they are laughing WITH you and not AT you. If anyone laughs AT you, then that person is a jerk and undeserving of conversation in the first place.

Open your mouth before the fear comes.

Learn to speak a foreign language as a child I guess. I never have that fear. I am a little surprised even that there is so much fear. It is about the third topic I read concerning this subject since I am here on italki. So, again, third time same story, when I was a child, my parents went on holiday, to France, Spain. My parents gave me money to buy candy at the local shop. I asked them what ice cream was in Spanish or French, and bought it. So, I am used to speak a foreign language, even when I do not know every word, every sentence. As a child you do not even know that in your native language. Hence I never felt any shame making mistakes, nor do so now. I just talk!
