I think is a question of confidence. You can practise pronouncing words that are difficult for you several times.
Record yourself with your computer or a recorder and get used to your voice in English. But most importantly, practise as much as you can with anyone
 
I was so afraid of speaking English when I was back at my uni that I never had the heart to go to the English corner during my uni life. It's shortly after my graduation when I finally gathered enough courage and attended my first English corner. I remember telling myself that was my last opportunity to go to the English corner in my life time. I think if you keep on pressing on yourself, one day you will be able to do it. After that, you will be much relieved.;-)
 
Speak with yourself in English at home. It can be about anything: an interview, a presentation, a speech; just use your imagination. It'll help with both vocabulary AND grammar and therefore boost your confidence. Just be sure you've got a dictionary (or better a computer) at hand so you can look up everything you're not sure about.
