First, I'd like to say your post is awesome and requires very little correction! Seriously, you have fewer grammatical errors than most native English speakers I know! Keep it up and I know your speaking and writing will be perfect in no time :)

Note that my corrections are purely to make your sentences sound more natural, and that for the most part it is a matter of preference. Feel free to disregard anything you don't agreed with.

[Writing in English every day challenge 1] My English learning journey

I've been learning English by myself since last November. I mean "learning", as opposed to "studying."
As you know, Korean people have a lot of interest in and passion for English.
As a Korean, I've been studying English a lot since I was around 8.
For almost 20 years, I studied to get a higher score for tests such as school mid/final exams and TOEIC, TOEFL, etc.
I think I loved to study English grammar and did my best to obtain the best result at school, but never enjoyed the language itself.
As a result, my reading and listening ability were not bad (quite good actually), but when it came to speaking and writing, I was terrible.

That's the point. I was always under pressure to study it because it was an inevitable duty in order to survive here in Korea.
However, I couldn't even speak daily conversation fluently.

So, I changed my method last year.
I realized that to study for a test isn't a good method to be excellent, and have been trying to read, listen, and speak in English a lot. Yes, it was an immersion!
I searched for things in English on the net and listened to lots of English news.
I really enjoyed doing those passive activities by myself using English books, online articles, youtube, and podcasts.

BUT I am still very poor and sometimes feel desperate in speaking and writing.

Fortunately, I made a really good American friend who helps me and gives me proper advice.
Thanks to him, I can practice my spoken English through Skype and get some courage and energy from him.
Most of all, I can keep my motivation.
"Don't give up and enjoy your progress with patience, and then finally you will be able to achieve your goal."
This is what I learned during the last 4 months while learning English. It was the most valuable lesson.

I am still learning. I sometimes felt desperate and too gloomy because I hit a plateau.
At least, I now know the only way to master a language, in my case, English, requires consistency.
Actually, it also requires effort, passion, motivation, and humility.

So let's keep going together and don't forget to do a small thing you like every day!

Thank you for reading this note.
If you are a native English speaker, please correct my sentences in more natural ways.
