letter to friend

Dear Betty

How’s your weekend? I'm hoping it is all right. I came got to London a couple days ago and I am very happy! I will am going to learn English at a language school for 2 weeks. I suppose it really can help me improve my level of the language.
My first class was yesterday. My teacher is called* Emmy and she remained reminded me of our old friend Laura. She has got [In American English using 'got' here would be strange and considered incorrect but in British English it is more common] the same blue hair color. The lesson was fine and a little bit hard. I’m trying to understand the teacher but she talks very fast. We work in small groups with one level. Everyone seems very interested [Do you mean the people are interesting (as in describing how you view them)or they are interested in the lesson? The meaning is similar but not the same] and good peoples. I meet met a girl from Japan and we will are going to go to the theatre with her on Thursday.
However Also, the city looks fantastic! I have been to very famous places and have to make taken many photos.
What presents do you want from England?

Best wishes,
Anna

Hi! Good job on this. Here are some notes explaining my corrections.

'Came' doesn't work unless your friend Betty was also in London when you visited. 'Came' is for when you are talking about a place you already are or someone else is otherwise you use 'go'. Example. "Are you coming to the party? Everyone else is already here." -- "I went to the beach with my friends yesterday." Meaning you are not currently at the beach.

'Will' and 'going to' are similar but generally, use "going to" when you are talking about premade plans. Use 'will' when talking about something that you just decided or is spontaneous.

*'Is called' is correct but uncommon in American English. We would likely say, "My teacher's name is Emmy"

'However' doesn't work because it isn't a contrary idea to the sentence before it. 'However' is basically the same as using the word 'but'. It would fit better when introducing a counter point. Example "I really like grapes. However, I'm not a fan of grape juice." In the example the second sentence gives a counter point. If you just want to add information you would use 'and' or 'also. Example "I have really been enjoying my vacation. Also, yesterday I saw a beautiful sunrise!" In that example to two sentences are just more information but not counter points.
