My first essay

Hello everybody! I am Oxana, from Saint-Petersburg. For the last 2 years I have been living in Shanghai and trying to learn Chinese. You could also say "I have been living in Shanghai and trying to learn Chinese for the last 2 years". What can I say about my English? I think it is pretty far from a good level. Here in Shanghai, I have classmates from many countries and their English is perfect! They can speak fluently and their pronunciation is like they are Americans, especially 2 guys from Sweden). I am really jealous- how can they watch any movie and understand everything :( When people ask me how long I have studied English I don't want answer as it has been ongoing from the age of 7... 

Хорошая работа. Welcome, and good luck with your English.

I think my level is pretty far from good. Here in Shanghai I have classmates from many countries and their English is perfect! They can speak fluently and their pronounciation is like they are Americans, especially 2 guys from Sweden.

Хорошо, Оксана!  Please pay attention to my corrections in blue. Don't stress yourself out too much. You're doing well.  Learning a foreign language is a long, hard process. You must be persistent and above all try to have fun. Don't compare yourself to the Swedes. Almost all of them speak English. It's like their second official language.
