I feel stuck in the same place I'm back. Last year I tried to post one text per day here on Italki, it turns out that some days people didn't correct my sentences, therefore I got down and I stopped doing that. But I noticed that since I got out of Italki I didn't improve my skills, in fact I lost a lot of vocabulary. So today, after some fresh air I decided to return. I am searching for some questions to answer and write down here. I would like to feel my English skills improving again.

I feel stuck in the same place.

I'm back.

Last year I tried to post one text per day here on Italki, it turns out that some days people didn't correct my sentences, therefore I felt down and I stopped posting.

I noticed that since I left Italki my skills did not improve, in fact, I lost a lot of vocabulary. So today, after some fresh air I decided to return. I am searching for some questions to be answered so that I can write them down here. I would like my English skills to improve again.

Last year I tried to post one text per day here on Italki, it turned[1] out that some days people didn't correct my sentences, therefore I ~~got~~ felt[2] down and I stopped doing that.

But I noticed that since I ~~got out of~~ left[3] Italki, I ~~didn't~~ haven't improved[4] my skills, in fact I lost a lot of vocabulary. So today, after some fresh air, I decided to return. I am searching for some questions to answer and write down here. I would like to feel like/as if my English skills were[5] improving again.

Hi, Gian!

[1] You need to use the past tense here, because it should agree with the tense of the first part of the sentence

[2] you can say "felt down" or "got discouraged". "got down" = "dancing" or "started some hard work (got down to business)"

[3] "I left" sounds more natural.

[4] You need to use "have not" to agree with the "since I left.." part of the sentence.

[5] "to feel" needs a preposition in this case. Or you could say: "I would like to see my English skills improving again."
