I just noticed a mistake in my comment above, I meant to say: ”我十九岁“, is "I am nineteen years old" :)

Hi Bingyi!
Nice to meet you! Very good introduction! I have a few comments to explain my correction:
1) "I have lived here for nineteen years" -- to say how long you have lived in a country （“我十九年住在这里”，对吧？）, this is the correct way. To tell your age: ( “我十一岁” ), you would say: "I am nineteen years old."
2) A general comment: Always put space after your commas ",".
3) "I" should ALWAYS be a capital "I", even if it is in the middle of the sentence.
4) "Since I've learned" - this is a more advanced lesson. The past tense of this is " I have learned " . We use "I'm" to say "I am", for example, "I'm a student", or "I'm happy". But for speaking about your actions in the past, we use "I have" or "I've". For example "I've studied English for three years," or "I've lived here for nineteen years." (In this sentence you did it correctly!) :)
I hope this is helpful to you. You did a great job introducing yourself! If you have any questions you can send me a message and I will try and help you. Good luck on your English studies! 加油！
