Trying to Do Your Best

I studied English at school from 11 to 16 years old but I didn't study much at that time. Now I'm thirty-eight years old and I have been studying English seriously for five months. I know it is not a long period of time, but I really would like to understand if I'm improving or not. When you start to study English you are told that there are four skills you have to develope: writing, reading, speaking and listening. I'm trying to keep up with all of them. I practice my speaking while I have chats with other people on the internet, and I improve my writing when I write short stories on this website. I listen to the news on the BBC to improve my listening and I read newspaper articles to understand how to read effectively. I hope this is enough.
