I want to improve my English
I'm 19 years old and I'm from Germany. I've been learning English since more than ten years now. At the moment I'm not happy with my language skills, I think after ten years of learning English, my knowledge should be better. At the moment I'm learning English at school, but after these year I will have finished school, so now I'm looking to improve my English by another way like italk.
In my opinion English is very important in business nowadays, if you want to have a great job your English must be very good.
Thank you for reading and the correction! :)

I want to improve my English
I'm 19 years old and I'm from Germany. I've been learning English since for more than ten years now. At the moment I'm not happy with my language skills. I think after ten years of learning English my knowledge should be better. At the moment I'm currently learning English at school, but after these this year I will have finished school, so now I'm looking to improve my English by another way like italk.
In my opinion English is very important in business nowadays. If you want to have a great job your English must be very good.
Thank you for reading and the correction! :)
notes: I changed the second "At the moment" for stylistic reasons rather than grammarical reasons. You had already used it once in your paragraph so it sounded a bit repetitive. This is a very good paragraph; very few errors. Awesome!

I'm not going to correct your text but I'd like to give you some advice: Immerse yourself in English, read English books and newspapers, watch movies, listen to podcasts etc. Your English sounds very German. Some of your sentences seem to be translated literally.
Your punctuation is German, too. In English, there's no comma before "if" or "but" while in German, there is.
Do you know grammarly? It helps you to write correct English grammar. When you write something like "I'm looking forward to improve my English", it will underline "improve" and tell you that you used the infinitive instead of the gerund: "I'm looking forward to improving my English" is correct. Same with spelling or punctuation mistakes.
