Luoc, Don't feel shy about not being able to speak well. We all have important languages that we can't speak well. If you can mostly understand spoken language, you can still easily participate. For one thing, there is the chat as Curtis points out. Based on your email, it looks like. you are pretty good with written English, in any case.
For another point, there may be somebody else on the meeting who can understand a language you are more comfortable with. But the most important thing to remember is that a video meeting is not a replacement for the mailing list. Any important ideas from a live meeting need to be brought back to the mailing list for discussion and decision making. It isn't reasonable to expect all of our worldwide participants to be in any kind of realtime meeting. I am speaking right now at 7AM because I got up for an inconvenient meeting (after staying up late) so I really feel that pain. I love your enthusiasm for the project and it would be terrible to lose that!
