Could somebody help me and correct my short text, please?
This is my short speech that I have to record for my homework. I am going to learn it by heart and I would not want to learn my own mistakes.
Thank you for your help!

Hi, I’m Julia.
How did it happen that I’m sitting here and trying to record this video?
I have been learning English for many years at school, at university and then I took a couple of English classes. Now I understand I did not study it hard enough. And the most demotivating fact was that I never really could speak English.
So I have decided to make a breakthrough and start speaking English at last. To achieve this I have taken part in the Language Marathon.
And now you can hear how I speak four weeks after the Marathon start. What will have become of my English by the end of the Marathon, we will see in eight weeks.
See you later!

Hi, I’m Julia.
How did it happen that I’m sitting here [and] trying to record this video?
I have been learning English for many years at school, at university and then I took a couple of English classes. Now I understand** that I did not study it hard enough. And the most demoralising* fact was that I never really could speak English.
So I have decided to make a clean break and start speaking English at last. To achieve this I have taken part in the Language Marathon.
And now you can hear how I speak four weeks after the Marathon start. What will [have] become of my English by the end of the Marathon, we will see in eight weeks.
See you later!
