こんにちは ^ - ^
Chromaticさん。

日本語で省略されていますが
「頑張れる」の主語は「私」です。

(私が)もっと話せるようになったら、(私に)もっと友達が増えるんじゃないかと思うと(私は)頑張れる(と思えるの)よ。

「思うと」は「思ってるから」とはちょっと違うんですよね。
The thought that ... makes me want to do my best. みたいな方向性でうまく訳せないでしょうか？

あと、the better ..., the more ... と言うと、話す力と友達の数が比例する（うまくなれば友達が増え、さらにうまくなればさらに友達は増える）という意味だと思いますが、日本語はそうは言っていないはずです。今よりうまくなれば今より友達が増えると言っているだけです。

Hey everyone! Thanks for your comments! I tried to take everyone's advice and revise the sentence.

I really love this site, but I'm still getting used to it. I don't want to trouble everyone with my less-then-polished translations, so I think I will try to leave a comment instead of doing it in the "translate" button from now on. I'm still learning after all!

I'm doing my best to get better at speaking, since I think the better I get, the more friends I can make.
