No , I don ’ t . I ’ m too afraid of making mistakes in English . I don ’ t want to be laughed at .

You won ’ t get anywhere that way . You ’ re the one who needs to practice English , so you should make the first move . Besides , most American students are really friendly and outgoing . They will be glad to talk to you .
