First notebook entry: Introducing myself
Hello:
I'm Christian, a chilean Industrial Engineer. I joined Italki.com to practice English and improve my communication skills in this language since I'm currently applying for an scholarship and master program abroad (especifically in the Netherlands).
I took my last english course like 5 years ago, so i've become slower and forgotten part of my vocabulary. However, I know that I just have to practice and be methodical to regain what i lost and keep my mind opened to learn new things.
I hope I can help you in the same process with Spanish.
Best regards from Chile.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself
Hello,My name is Christian and I'm a Chilean Industrial Engineer. I joined Italki.com to practice English and improve my English language communication skills
Because I took my last English course
Best regards,
All my best, Christian. < friendlier
"Christian" is also a religion. Say "My name is Christian" to avoid misunderstandings.
Try not to say "like" < it's sounds like something a teenager would say.
Study capitalization again.
Study contractions to sound even more natural. ( I + have = I've)
Generally speaking "regards" are sent from a person, not a place. People can
say "Best regards, from Paris", but then it sounds like their name is "Paris".
Best regards", <<< this is a very businesslike ending to such a casual essay.
It's probably best to say, All my best or Thanks or Take care, ________ < your name.

Hello Christian, I see your English is quite good, maybe you are just modest saying that it needs improving:) Look, I need to learn Spanish and I'm searching a serious teacher to help me. I speak English every day, so I think you could also take an advance of my skills. Accept my invitation if you are interested. I would like to focus on learning and teaching:) Regards from Poland.

Christian, your English is really quite good - it's got a good, natural tone. Good luck with your applications!
One or two notes - 'especifically' isn't a word. It sounds like a mix of 'especially' and 'specifically', so you should choose the one that suits you best.
I would also say 'keep my mind open to learning new things'. You could say 'keep my mind open to learn new things', but it has a different feel to it - more imperative.
Regards from the UK...
