[General] Is the following sentence comprehensible？

[zkim]

“ My cousin Edward learnt Japanese and English when he was 15 for the concern that he may get additional chances in his later life. In the fact, he was totally dispressed for he couldn’t learn either language well. Then he gave up the Japanese and got 145 in English in the national examination, which helped him enter the dreamy Beijing Foreign Language University”
Is the sentence [In the fact, he was totally dispressed for he couldn’t learn either language well.] comprehensible？
If not, how can I express this briefly and idiomatic:He was very dispressed,because it was hard for him to study both English and Japanese at the same time.

Thank you very much!

Do you mean "depressed"?

 

[zkim]

um...actually it's this part: he couldn’t learn either language well.
And I wanted to express that he could not learn English well and he could not learn Japanese well,either
Is it correct?

It should be "depressed". Your "in the fact" should be "in fact".

Yes, that is fine.

 

[zkim]

oops.... thank you!

or could I use "the fact that+clause" as an object after verb or preposition?
