My English learning process

I've been learning English for four years. At school, English is a compulsory subject and I wasn't really interested in learning it because it was quite boring, so for the first 3 years I didn't learn English seriously. A year ago, when I read an article about exchange students living in Europe, I started to find English, as well as Western culture, is very interesting. I really regret wasting 3 years so I decided to start all over again. My score at school got better and better after a few months, but unfortunately, they mainly taught me grammar at school so despite good grades, my English is still poor because I've learnt nothing but grammar and vocabulary. Now I can only understand what people say but I can't reply/respond. A few days ago, a friend of mine suggested that I should use this site because it've helped her a lot, so I'm here. That's my story, what about yours?
I'm looking for someone to talk with me so as to get better at communicating. Please contact me if you want to help, thank you!
