First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I want to learn English in order to pass my an exam. Therefore, I'm looking for a native English speaker who wants to learn German, so we can learn from each other.
I figure this is the best way for to learning a foreign language.

This is a good basic passage.  I have a technical background and speak very formally, so I made some small corrections.  Many native speakers would have understood perfectly, but there are some small changes that can increase clarity.
