If you are asked a question, don't think you have to answer immediately, take a second or two, breath, and think about what you are going to say. Then say it. If you think about what you are saying first, then you tend to stumble over your words a lot less.
Practice when you are home.
Way back when the dinosaurs walked the earth, I had to take Effective Speaking in order to graduate from college. The best advice I got there, was to sit in front of the mirror and have a conversation with yourself.
There's conversation starter type questions all over the web, start with stuff like that, ask yourself the question, then answer it, and watch yourself, watch your mannerisms.
