Im still living near this school, where I lived there upon. But all my schoolmates moved away. And I plan to do the same near future.

#1 Something about my life

My first entry. About languages

I should know how to speak a Chinese dialect as well as Vietnamese, but somehow I never used to learn from my parents. They were too so good in at German, so I never had a reasons  to learn "their" languages. Now I kind of regret it. Of course I want to talk with the whole family abroad, the generation above me, and also with the my grandparents, who insisted on speaking a Chinese dialect.

It's funny, at the in kindergarten I had a friend with same background, but I never knew it until I met her again at highschool high school. Her language skills were far beyond mine.(very good)
There were only two asians in my elementary class school. Me and another girl. But she was adopted and very snobbish, for since her mother was a children's book author and spent sent books to the class_library. I didnt do anything with her in my leisure time, I just just joined her birthday_parties.

I'm still living near this school, where I have lived since there upon. But all my schoolmates have moved away, and I plan to do the same in the near future.

I looked up 'there upon' to see what you meant, and was surprised to learn that there's a word in English called 'thereupon' which means 'immediately or shortly after that'. Based on that, I'm only guessing at your intended meaning


English has many ways to say 'because', and 'for' sounds very poetic to me.

My first entry. About languages. 

I should know how to speak a Chinese dialect and Vietnamese, but somehow I never used to learned from my parents. They were too good in had very good German, so I never had reasons to learn "there their" languages. Now I kind of regret it. Of course I want to talk with the whole family abroad, the generation above me, and also with the grandparents, who insisted [maybe just 'insist' rather than insisted if they still insist on speaking Chinese] on speaking in their Chinese dialect.

It's funny, at the in kindergarten I had a friend with the same background, but I never knew it until I met her again at in highschool. Her language skills were far beyond mine.(very good)
There were only two Asians in my elementary class. Me and another girl. But she was adopted and very snobbish, for her mother was child-books-author a children's book author and spent books to the class-library [and gave books for the class library]. I didnt do anything with her in my leisure time, just joined her birthday parties [don't need the - between some of your words].

I'm still living near this school but all my schoolmates have moved away. , where I lived there upon[not sure about this one]. And I plan to do the same near future. [The 'And' is fine but unneccessary. I always start sentences with 'But' and 'And', however in school I was always told not to start sentences with these conjunctions. I don't use them like that in formal writing.]
