Due to lack of practice and confidence.

Because when we listen to English sentence we easily translate it our own mother tongue but when we have to speak we form a sentence in our own mother tongue in our brain and during speaking we try to translate it to English .

Because you have fear of English that someone would catch the mistakes and make you feel embarrassing. Remember no one is perfect and try to be confident. Enrol my classes for two months. You'll be the dominating person among your friends with an excellent voice accent.
