My first entry

Hi,

This is my first entry in English, so I'll just start with a short introduction.
My name is Balázs, I am 28 years old and I live in Budapest, Hungary. Right now I am learning Spanish and I am loving it. Hopefully one day I will be able to speak fluidly fluently (fluidly isn't wrong, but fluently is more normally used) and understand the (again, adding 'the' is not wrong, but most English speakers wouldn't bother to use it) native speakers, even those who are speaking blazing fast.

I am a software developer and I have to work with colleagues from New York, so I get to use English during my daily work. I have never had problems understanding English and I can manage to make myself understood with others. Yet sometimes when I have to write a letter I am left struggling. I have realized that even though my English vocabulary is pretty good, I am not utilizing it. I tend to use the same words, the same expressions all the time. Also I am pretty sure that I misuse tenses all the time.

So I have decided to improve my English. It will be tough since I have very limited free time, but I will make it happen one way or another. Wish me luck :)

That's a well written notebook entry, hardly any mistakes really, and even the things I've changed are more about their style than being incorrect. Also, you mentioned that tenses are a problem for you, but I see no evidence of that, all your tenses are perfect in this extract!
