Don't learn a foreign language as I did.
The fact is that I learned German at school and at university. When I first time went abroad, I felt very uncomfortable. I could not communicate with people. My German language didn't help me. After that I decided to learn English. I didn't have a computer then. I learned myself with teach-yourself books. I learned many words and read many books. But unfortunately, the my pronunciation of all the words was wrong. Now I have to learn everything again!Don't learn a foreign language as I. Don't learn a foreign language like I did. (I don't recommend learning languages the way I did)

For this sentence:
The matter fact is that I learned German at in school and in the university.
I wasn't sure if you learned German in university only or if you learned it in school (highschool) and university. If you want to say you only learned it in a university course, you could just say: The fact is that I learned German in university.
I made some changes in the notebook entry to sound a bit more natural. If you have any questions you can ask me in the comments.

Don't learn a foreign language like I did (or "the way I did")
The problem is that I learned German at school, at the university. And the first time I went abroad, I felt very uncomfortable. I could not communicate with people. My German didn't help me. And then I decided to learn English. I didn't have a computer then. I learned myself using books for self-learners. I learned many words, read many books. But my pronunciation of all the words was wrong. Now I have to retrain myself at everything. (Or "relearn everything.")
Actually your English doesn't seem so bad to me! Good work.
I translated "the matter is" as "the problem is" because I think you are referring to the English expression "what is the matter?" which means something like "what is wrong, what is the problem?" Unfortunately that expression only works as a question. (Languages are weird.) You can't turn it around and say "the matter is," you have to say "the problem is." But if you meant it more like "the fact is" then that would be a better translation.
