If we go for a literal translation, neither ‘plate’ nor ‘bowl’ are german words. In German, ‘Platte’ means a thin flat piece of metal which is used for serving purposes. Also, the translation of ‘bowl’ is “Schussel”, but that is not used for serving soup. What actually is used for serving the soup is teller, which is something similar to a plate in visual.

To improve speaking ability (through individual classes) depends on your teacher only
Without hesitation, you should just start speaking. Another very good way of getting over the fear of speaking is to sing. Learn German songs. Sing them loud...sing along. This will help you to overcome the speaking hesitations.
