Hello, here I'd like to make some sentences or maybe telling a story and write anything (that/what) I want to write to upgrade my vocabularies and grammar because this is one of the ways I learn English.
So I'm going to write something and, I hope you guys will answer and correct my grammar if I'm wrong and, also I'll write 2 words in (parentheses/brackets) when I (hesitate/doubt) to determine (which/which one) of the two words is correct.
So, I have some problems (in/with) learning English. Sometimes I feel confused and my mind goes blank and also get nervous like shaking when I want to say something to someone. And one of my problems is vocabulary and, I'm pretty sure that I'm so poor of it, and when people talk to me, sometimes I understand what they say sometimes don't. Because I don't understand some words of what they say like what I wrote above that I'm poor of vocabulary, so that makes me confused.
But (when/if) compared between talking and listening, I'd say that it's easier to listen than talk, cause I can use my mind to understand (of/without of) what they say, even though I don't understand the complete sentence. Of course, writing is easiest than the other two cause I can think a thousand times to do it, even though what I've written is wrong LOL.
Alright so this is a little of my story (of/about) Learning English, and I'll do it again next time to upgrade my vocabularies and grammar.
Thank You. :)

This looks like a homework exercise.

Probably yes, but I'm not a student anymore.
I'm 21 years old and, I can speak 4 languages.

1. Indonesian (My main language)
2. Japanese
3. German
4. Sundanese (One of the local languages in Indonesia)

But I can't speak English well, so here I am.

Hello, [STRIKE]here[/STRIKE] I'd like to [STRIKE]make[/STRIKE] write some sentences or maybe [STRIKE]telling[/STRIKE] tell a story [STRIKE]and write anything (that/what) I want to write[/STRIKE] in order to [STRIKE]upgrade[/STRIKE] improve my [STRIKE]vocabularies[/STRIKE] vocabulary and grammar because this is one of the ways I hope to learn English.

So I'm going to write something and (no comma here) I hope you guys will answer and correct my grammar if I'm wrong. [STRIKE]and,[/STRIKE] Also, I'll write [STRIKE]2[/STRIKE] two words in [STRIKE](parentheses/brackets)[/STRIKE] brackets when [STRIKE]I (hesitate/doubt) to determine[/STRIKE] I'm not sure [STRIKE](which/which one)[/STRIKE] which of the two words is correct.

[STRIKE]So,[/STRIKE] I have some problems [STRIKE](in/with)[/STRIKE] learning English. Sometimes I feel confused, [STRIKE]and[/STRIKE] my mind goes blank and [STRIKE]also[/STRIKE] I get so nervous [STRIKE]like[/STRIKE] that I start shaking when I want to say something. [STRIKE]to someone.[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]And[/STRIKE] One of my problems is vocabulary and (no comma here) I'm pretty sure that [STRIKE]I'm[/STRIKE] mine is [strike]so[/strike] poor [STRIKE]of it, and[/STRIKE] because when people talk to me, sometimes I understand what they say and sometimes I don't. Because I don't understand some [STRIKE]words[/STRIKE] of what they say [STRIKE]like what I wrote above that[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]I'm poor of[/STRIKE] I feel that my vocabulary is poor, so that makes me confused.

But [STRIKE](when/if)[/STRIKE] if I [STRIKE]compared[/STRIKE] compare [STRIKE]between[/STRIKE] talking and listening, I'd say that it's easier to listen than talk, because I can [STRIKE]use my mind to understand (of/without of)[/STRIKE] work out what they [STRIKE]say[/STRIKE] mean, even though I don't understand the complete sentence.

Of course, writing is [STRIKE]easiest[/STRIKE] easier than the other two because I can think about what I'm writing a thousand times [STRIKE]to do it[/STRIKE] before I write it, even though sometimes what [STRIKE]I've written[/STRIKE] I write is still wrong. LOL.

[STRIKE]Alright so[/STRIKE] This is a little of my story [STRIKE](of/about)[/STRIKE] of learning English. [STRIKE]and I'll do it again next time[/STRIKE] I'll write another post soon to [STRIKE]upgrade[/STRIKE] improve my [STRIKE]vocabularies[/STRIKE] vocabulary and grammar.
Thank you. :)

Probably yes, but I'm not a student anymore. (I'm not sure what "Probably yes" was an answer to.)
I'm 21 years old and (no comma here) I can speak [STRIKE]4[/STRIKE] four languages.

1. Indonesian (My [STRIKE]main[/STRIKE]
native language)
2. Japanese
3. German
4. Sundanese (One of the local languages in Indonesia)

But I can't speak English well, so here I am.

Please see my corrections above.

You're welcome but please note that there is no need to write a new post to say "Thank you" to anyone. Clicking on the Thank button, as you already did, suffices.
