Writting about learning a language
I've been searching for language exchange partners for almost a month, and it was pretty nervous nervewracking at the first. I graduated from university last summer, the and during this period that I more considered English as a tool rather than as a subject. But, after graduation, It was there were/I had barely no any opportunities to utilize it.
I tried taking on-line courses that were taught by in English, it is useful to maintain my English listening and reading skills, but lack of speaking skill [you need to expand this part; you could say "it didn't help with speaking" or "my speaking skills suffered" or something like that]. Then I found this website, and meet met some people, two people Skyped with me, and others talked with sent messages on italki.
The very first time I skyped with a stranger was three weeks ago, I was very nervous, like actual raining was happening in on my forehead literally [you could also use the English idiom: "I was sweating buckets" which means that you were sweating a lot]. But that partner was very kind and steered that conversation to go on. And I also found my speaking skill had declined. Then the second time with the other person I think I did improve a little, the conversation went delighted delightfully and we had second meeting. He is also learning Chinese, which somehow makes it/things more comfortable.
Language learning is unlimited, like I'm a native Chinese and Taiwanese speaker, but I still got a lot to learn from about my native languages, not to say mention English. But meanwhile, I'm also hoping I could can learn some other languages, knowing one foreign language makes me can reach and get to know so many people and things, who knows what's going to what will happen if I know two of them.

And recently I regained the fun of swimming [I would say something like: "Recently I started having fun swimming again"], I'm still a little be shy showing my body, but after almost a decade, it feels different, and now I like it and hope it can last longer.
Well done! If you have any questions about any of my corrections, please let me know and I will explain further.
