When I speak English, I think it makes me much shier and more quiet than speaking in my native language. Because I think a lot before saying something. I'd like to speak much louder and have confidence.
Here's an idea: start thinking in English. You know how we have this constant chatter inside our minds? When you're on the bus or tube or (any other time you are by yourself) just decide to have this inner conversation with yourself in English. It will allow you to find different ways of saying things and have a lot more confidence when you actually have to say something out loud :)
