Well, your written English is reasonably good. So you will have to practice your pronunciation. The best thing that comes to my mind is repeating (speaking) texts you can hear somewhere spoken by a native English speaker. Then you tape the same text - pronounced by you - on a tape recorder. After that you listen to both your pronunciation and that of the native speaker. This comparison will tell you what to correct.

I am  in fear of mistakes and being laughed at

Andy is right; you have to be thick-skinned! Remember that everybody - absolutely everybody - makes mistakes. So if you make one too, you are in good company.

Regarding your other post with that red object, I insist it's a fan. Just look carefully, and you'll see the "button" around which the "feathers" turn.

We are in the new age. Unlike the old days where there is a saying; women are to be seen but not heard. It is all gone now.

Your written English is one of the best I have seen in this forum. I have seen some which are barely incomprehensible.

You said your pronunciation is not good. There is another way to improve it. Listen to songs. I would suggest you listen to songs from the fifties,sixties or seventies.  Listen to them and try singing along with them. Find songs that are slow and pleasant to your ears. But no rock music.

Remember,  It is only what you are going  hear and say. In a live conversation you will not get to see written text  whatsoever.

Try not to  read the lyrics. Listen without the aid of the lyrics and sing along. Once you think you got it right listen to it again and write down what you hear.  Then you can go online to find the lyrics to see how you fare.

There is also a saying; monkey see monkey do
