I really don't understand your question but your english is better than most americans.. Find something you like and then do a report on it in english..I think your grammar is fine and im sure there are schools that you can learn better english at even on the internet..But really I don't find your english bad.. As I said its better than most americans or english speaking countries .so what is there to be ashamed of..be proud.. you speak very well and also write very well

I'm swedish and I've never been to an english speaking country, but I still understand spoken and written english almost as good as any native speaker. I think it's because, for once, we learn english from a very early age (I started when I was nine) and we're also very immersed in the language. almost everything on swedish tv is in english (well not everything but quite a lot) and we hear the language around us from a very early age. I think it's hard for english speakers because 1) they're almost exclusively exposed to english and rarely hear any other language and 2) they don't really have the need to learn a foreign language simply because most foreign people already speak english. I'm glad my first language isn't english because if it was I probably wouldn't speak swedish (or any other language for that matter).

well, reading what you have written... I say your English is very good!
You could always take a class. I know here in America there are many free classes to help people with their speech and English writing. Not sure where you are from... but you might wanna check out some free classes.
(but I don't think you really need one! Just keep practicing!)

Try reading. It's a great way to absorb both vocabulary and grammar. Anything would work... I recommend fiction for your age group, or autobiographies.
You're English is very good already though, so you have a good start. Congrats and good luck!

Your English is much improved, perhaps better than some who were born here.
One good way to improve English is to read books. Follow the grammar and the way sentences are worded. Pay attention to what words are used together in sentences. It will get better just by seeing it in print. Little children learn sentence structure by hearing it from adults and you can speed up your learning by reading books.
Keep up the good work, you are doing fine.
