I want to improve my English speaking but I'm too shy to talk with native speakers. Does anyone have suggestions for practicing alone without feeling embarrassed about mistakes?

Recording works but I found it more helpful to practice english with ai because you get immediate responses like a real conversation. Talking to yourself feels weird and you don't know if what you're saying makes sense. AI gives feedback on grammar and pronunciation right away. I was super nervous about speaking too but practicing with AI built my confidence before trying real conversations. You can repeat the same scenario until you get it right without annoying anyone. Start with simple topics like introducing yourself or ordering food then move to harder conversations. Practice daily even if just ten minutes
