You might feel a little shy if you're attending your first Polyglot Club meeting.
You will have to speak a foreign language you may not speak fluently. Besides, you will have to speak that language to a complete stranger.
Just watch this video and you will probably feel more confident for your first language exchange meeting :

Language learning is a bit like learning to swim, you have to "go in the water" and dive into the "linguistic pool ".
When facing an unknown situation, it is often natural to feel shy. The first few seconds are the hardest but you will soon feel comfortable as everybody is very welcoming and, above all, the main goal of language exchange meetings is to open up, speak to others, mingle around.
The spirit of our community is precisely to have an open and welcoming attitude. These meetings are based on communication and the principle is "everyone talks to everyone else."
Many of the participants are newbies like you and if you come alone you can start to talk to them. Participants who are used to those events will also be very pleased to introduce you to the concept.
If you want to practice a language in particular, ask your Polyglot Club host, he will refer you to a participant who can teach you his/her language and who is learning yours.
So, open up and take a dive in the language pool !
