I have tried to make English sentences almost every day and have them corrected here. When I read the explanations, I thought I understood them, yet I make the same mistakes in making sentences. I'm wondering if it's a matter of getting used to using those words.

At the office, I got a phone call from an overseas customer today. She and I have exchanged emails almost every day and it was the first call from her. I was too nervous to speak well in English. I stuttered several times. After I hung up the phone, I drank a hot coffee with milk to calm down. I attended language exchange meet-ups many times to practice English with foreigners so far, but I think it's of no use if I can't use my English skills at work.
I think it's better to improve how I have conversations with foreigners.
When you meet foreigners, what kind of topics do you speak?

I am not sure if "making" is the correct verb here in this case. Personally, I would use "write"

Maybe "native speakers" would be a better alternative in this case?

I am not sure if I understood what you meant correctly by foreigners. Do you mean people who speak English as their mother tongue?

I think it's betterimportant to improve how I have conversations with foreignnative speakers.

When you meet foreignnative speakers, what kind of topics do you speaktalk about?

A well written text!
I can also personally understand the struggle of trying to use a new language you're learning. At times, it feels daunting but you're on a good path! Keep it up! :)

At meet-ups, I met not only English native speakers but also people whose mother tongues are not English such as French, German, Indonesian.

I haven't actually been able to verbally speak to someone in 日本語 yet, but just tyring to speak to myself is hard enough!
I believe in you, you can do it!
Also, I've never spoken to a 日本人, but one thing I do to help myself remember all the corrections is first, reading them outloud; second, making flashcards, if you have an online flahscard system, you could try inputting everything you learn from vocabulary to phrases and full sentences, and just studying those; and third, I try to use what people have shared with me in my next journals to cement it in my brain. I admit alot of times I feel like: Oh my goodness how will I remember how to use all this!? '(T_T)

Thank you for the correction and telling me about online flashcards. I'll use it to practice words repeatedly. I learned a new word, I forget a word I learned before, repeatedly...(≧▽≦)

You're writing very well, keep up the good work! I would probably talk about your hometown or country, and what it is like staying there. It'd probably be an interesting listen for your conversation partner and it'd also be easy to talk about for you! :)
