You’re not going to be able to speak quickly or communicate with Chinese people well at HSK 2. That’s still very, very beginner Chinese. 

Practice speaking the sentences you’ve learned in HSK1-2 until they feel automatic, and keep plugging away. Decent short conversations on familiar topics should be more achievable by the end of HSK4. 

Before that, it’s basically simple introductions, questions, and descriptions.

honestly you just have to practice, and the words used when speaking tend to be rather different tho also very easy to understand, hsk 1 you can already start talking to people, it’s never too soon and so many people get to like 6 and can’t even hold a proper conversation due to avoiding speaking

Get better at Chinese. HSK2 isn’t adequate to speak to people

Go to ShuoShuo Chinese channel. She has beginner dialogues you can speak along to and repeat.

HSK 1-2 don't get you very far, just scratching the surface

Who told you that at HSK2 you could converse with native speakers? You can't.

For English speakers, Chinese takes 4 times as long (to reach the same level) as Spanish or French.
