miazorahow to make ourself more confident when speaking in english

Hi miazora, welcome to EnglishForward!

Probably just practice. Try to find friends who are native English speakers, and ask them to correct you if you make a mistake. With practice, you should find that they correct you less often, and this should make you more confident.
That's just my guess. I've never learnt a new language, so I could be wrong!

Correct knowing of the grammer makes u confident. You shoud have prper undrstanding what the speake is conveying. you shoud use simple words and vocabulary. This enhances teh interest of communication. Though practicing before mirror helps alot.

miazorai don't know how to make myself be confident when speaking in English... I try to speak English with the native speaker but it's doesn't work... I think that when i'm speak it totally wrong... So that why, i just quite when talking with people in English language... do you think i can improve?

Of course you can improve, and you will improve. Every time you say something, and a native English speaker corrects you and explains word meanings and grammar rules to you, if you understand what they say, and remember the rule, and practice it, you are improving. You don't know how far you will have to travel to reach your goal, but you know that you must move forwards towards it.

I feel I'm very lucky to be a native English speaker. When I try to imagine how difficult it would be to learn a new and alien language, which I hadn't grown up with and learnt naturally, I am filled with admiration for the many ESL people who work so diligently and are so self-conscious of normal, natural mistakes they make. Mistakes which are often due to one of the many inconsistencies and idiosyncrasies of this language, or incompatibilities between it and their native language.
You should spend as much time as possible with people who are NATIVE English speakers, who speak correctly, and who are prepared to help you by explaining things to them.
You know, for many EFL people, myself included, helping ESL people with this cumbersome language is quite rewarding, WHEN you know that the ESL person is LEARNING. There's an adage that says "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. TEACH a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime". I feel good when I can teach a skill, especially when the skill (the language) is natural for me.
I hope you don't mind me correcting your sentences now.

miazorai don't know how to make myself be confident when speaking in English

"I don't know how to BE MORE confident when I'M speaking in English."

miazorai try to speak English with the native speaker but it's doesn't work...

"I try to speak English WITH NATIVE SPEAKERS, but IT doesn't work."

miazorai think that when i'm speak it totally wrong...

"I think THAT I SPEAK IT totally wrong" - closer but still not right

miazoraso that why, i just quite when talking with people in English language..

"So that IS why (no comma here) I KEEP QUIET when talking with people in English".
Or maybe you don't KEEP QUIET altogether, maybe you mean "So that is why I speak quietly when ...".

One other thing. If you want to be strictly correct in your writing here, you should be careful with positions and numbers of punctuation marks. A sentence always starts with a capital letter, and names are normally fully in mixed case (e.g. the Irish Republican Army (IRA)). The full stop (period) is normally only used singly or in a group of three, and there's always a space (some people use two spaces), or an end-of-line, STRAIGHT AFTER the period. Like I just did there. There is no space BEFORE the period, and the same is true for the exclamation mark ('!'), the comma (',') and the colon (':') and semicolon (';').
