Trying to learn english English

This is my first note, I've just signed up on italki and I noticed that people take this seriously which what is very nice. I've studied english English for 9 years, but I started when I was a tennager teenager just because my father forced me so I didn't have much improvements despite this such a long time that I have been reciving english (receiving is misspelled. It is more natural to say taking in this context) English classes. I think I have started to dedicate really to learn english English about 3 years ago but in during this period I passed spent one year and a half years without studying. 3 years ago I lived in a small city were I got my graduation graduated with a bachelor's degree and. I had an excellent teacher there, he was very funny and the classes were great. However I had to move to a big city, a metropolis, to get my master's degree and I still live here. However, I didn't adapted adapt to the pace of a big city, I'm too lazy to do things outside the home. so So I decided to study english English at home with online courses. I hope I can improve my english English studying by myself.

I would say that formal classes are really good at giving structure and emphasizing grammar but it is hard to study conversation in a class setting.  Self study programs are also good a providing a framework BUT you have to practice and be okay difficulty of expressing yourself.

I had several years of formal study in Latin and Latin languages.  However my conversational ability with them is low.  Enen now in Portuguese I get the "que" look.  The slight furrow in the brow where someone has to give his or her undivided attention to parse what I am saying.  But you know what, tomorrow it will be better because yesterday was worse.  Cheers and welcome to italki.
