You may or may not remember me. You were the first English teacher I had when I came to the US for 5/th grade. I recall myself being limited to using the words "I don't speak English." Anyway, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for helping me learn the language. I could not have learned it as thoroughly, or as quickly, without your help.
I hope everything is going well for you, and once more, thank you very much for being the best teacher.

Any mistakes, suggestions?

Wow! Your grammar is better than most 'native' Americans. One suggestion: "I recall myself..." - "myself" is redundant, so leave it out and say: "I recall being ..."
Best wishes.

Am not really sure but i remember lessons in English that when it don't sound good it is not nice meaning it may be correct but change it anyway, to be more pleasant to hear.
Ex. I could not have learned it as thoroughly or as quickly without your help.
thorough -adj; thoroughly - adv.
I could not have learned it in a thorough and quick manner without your help.
I hope everything is going well for you and let me again thank you for being my best teacher

That is a beautiful letter, I'm sure the teacher will be very touched.
I do not see any grammatical errors (except the slash between 5 and th for 5th grade)
It's very nice.

I agree with poster #2, remove the word "myself". Also, it may be better if you remove the word "anyway" as that's a word used (in this sort of context) to shift the direction of thought, and you are not doing that but simply moving on with the train of thought.

your grammar sounds great. you may want to use something like "one of the greatest teachers i've ever had" instead of "best teacher" i dont know how old you are but when you say "your the best" it sound kind of childish i guess. well childish isn't really the right word. i dont know, i just dont think it sounds very good that way. everything else sounds great though, and im sure your teacher will really appreciate you thanking him/her. that's really nice

5/th should just be 5th but the rest is fabulous!
