firstly you need to understand that being fluent in English does not make you modern and that fact that you are not good at English does not mean you are backward.

Once you understand and accept this, go and talk to him, apologise for your actions and convince the same to him that although he may not be good at English, but there are many other things in which he may be good at. Try to build up his confidence again by showing faith and respect towards him

I was also like that and even now I feel I am just a novice.Tell him to atleast talk to you in english and do not mind even if he is wrong.Encourage him.Today it may be you tomorrow he will speak fluent english to all.What is your standard of English by the way? Just see encarta words in MSN and check if you know meaning of how many words.That will tell your strength.If strong enough then watch englishtown.com and judge yourself.Your second word shows how you spell or write the word depressed,and then "lacks"(present tense".I feel show this message to your friend and he will definitely tell that he is stronger in english than you.First be introvert ,think and then tell about your self.Telling truth will not make you down,rather it will make him normal once he knows and learns from you.
