Welcome to VATSIM - VATSIM - The International Online Flying Network what you need to get online, and go start flying! You don't even need to be flying large airliners in Flight Sim, just take up a 172 in a busy traffic patterns.
Vatsim will help immeasurably, the controller are very professional, and you'll be learning to communicate in a stress-free environment. Vatsim was the single tool that helped me become comfortable on the radio.
Send me a PM if you want and I'll help you get set up.
Although those of us flying 767-300s in VATSIM would appreciate it if you could do not less than 120 on short final
But yes, that's a great way to learn to talk on the radio, especially IFR stuff. They have a few procedural differences, but it'll help you out.
