This is my first notebook in English. I'd really like to improve in this language, but I always try to do things by myself; so what I miss is exercising my skills with conversation. I think it's the most important thing. If you can speak well, you can have a good conversation. 

I started to study english at 11 years old. When I was a child we didn't study any languages in primary school, we started very late and probably with old teaching methods.

After I decided to study alone (private courses are very expensive). <- This is a fragment. There either needs to be something before or after it to make it a sentence.

I'm also lucky because I love travelling everywhere and I could always learn a lot talking with other people abroad. Now I'm trying to not lose my English. The most difficult thing is not to learn a language but to find time and will to preserve it, because if you don't practice you forget it!
