One of the things that I love from about Italki is it's meet meeting people arround from all around the world. I can learn with people arround the world (5)about their history, culture and ways of life. That's amazing!

 

(1) on is used because italki is on a screen instead of in which is more like inside.

(2) present perfect tense (I have met or I've met) is used becuase you're not referring to a specific date in the past vs past tense ( Yesterday, I met or Last week, I found) is about a specific time in the past.

(3) flows better

(4) referres to people from earlier sentence

(5) refers to people from previous sentence

 

Great job!

It's my second day on Italki and I'm very happy. I have found* a lot people to improve my languages, all the people that I meet seem** to be very friendly, I'm happy to meet people that share my interest of languages. I'm sure I'll learn a lot, I'll improve my spoken and written skills with your help, thank you to everyone for that!
One of the things that I love on Italki is meeting people from around*** the world, I can learn from people**** around the world about their history, culture and ways of life, I think that's amazing for me!

 

*You use the perfect tense (to have + past participle) when you don't specify the time but when you do specify the time, you use the preterite. For example, Yesterday, I ate chocolate. vs. I've eaten chocolate before.

Two days ago, I found people online to help improve my language skills. vs.

I've found people online to help improve my language skills.

The reason why it is, "I have found" in the context you have written is because the time clause is in a separate sentence.

** person = singular, people = plural. For example, He is a nice person. vs. They are nice people.

*** The word 'around' is only spelt with 1 r, not 2.

**** 'to learn from someone' means someone teaches you something and you learn it because they taught you. 'to learn with someone' means you learn a topic together with someone. For example, I learn English from English people. vs. I learn English with my work colleagues.
