Why are you learning English? What are your goals I learn English because I want to adapt to my new life in Hongkong. From the start, I just want to make sure I am able to understand things that professor says in the class. But as time goes by, I want to be able to communicate with others in English. I want to use English more naturally, and talk about everything that l like in English. Watching English movies without subtitle is also one of my goals. To achieve this, not only I have to boost my vocabulary, but also I need to learn English more widespread.

Hi 黑白角龙

In addition to Alexander's corrections, I would just like to introduce you to the rather special grammar associated with 'not only' when it starts a sentence (as it does here if we ignore the introductory adverbial 'To achieve this,').  

Watching English movies without subtitles is also one of my goals. To achieve this, not only do I have to boost my vocabulary, but also I also need to learn more everyday/colloquial English more widespread.

Just to explain the grammar: 
If 'not only' is used at the beginning of a sentence, it is followed by an auxiliary verb + subject. If there is no other auxiliary verb, we use do. In addition, the word 'but' can be left out.

To achieve this, not only do I have to boost my vocabulary, I also need to learn English more widespread.

Here is a very helpful explanation:
