Assuming this is genuine — and I mean no disrespect, Sister, but we all know much on the internet is not — I suggest you try something like Facebook. Put up a profile and you may find some willing English conversationalists. Also, look into Dave’s ESL Cafe.

Hi, Manseur Mohamed Amine. By all means use anything offered on this site, and others linked from it. But I am unable to give you direct help.
Good luck.
