Japanese language fear

I know how to speak Japanese, but I'm afraid to talk in Japanese to a Japanese person because I'm so afraid of saying something stupid and insult them out of my nerviousness is this normal?

  • I'm half Japanese but I'm afraid of that too. It always scares me when I have to speak to someone other than family or friends.

    Me too. I'm afraid that they'll make fun of my accent. But at least I don't say things like ramunn (ramune) or OOdon (udon). ya and I'm also scared that I'm going to say something totally wrong and they'll think that it means something else totally. :/
