Great job!
1. Mūsu nav latviešu kursi vairs. (*We have not Latvian courses anymore.)
- We are not having Latvian courses anymore - Mēs esam pārtraukuši latviešu valodas kursus. (literal translation: "we have stopped Latvian courses" )
2. Es studēju latvijā. Nākammēnes, es būšu otrais gads studente.
- Nākammēnes, es būšu otrā gada studente.
3. Mums ir tikai latviešu kursi pirmajā gadā. Tāpēc, mūsu nav latviešu kursi vairs.
(*We only have Latvian courses in the 1st year. So we have not Latvian courses anymore.)
- Pirmajā gadā mums bija tikai latviešu valodas kursi. (past)
- Pirmājā gadā mums ir tikai latviešu valodas kursi. (presnet)
4. Mums bija tikai latviešu kursi divreiz nedēļā. Tāpēc mans latvijas(līmenis) joprojām nav pietiekams, lai izdzīvotu šeit...
(*We used to only have Latvian courses twice a week. So my Latvian(language level) is still not enough for survive here...)
- Mums bija latviešu valodas kursi tikai divas reizes nedēļā. Tāpēc mans latviešu valodas līmenis joprojām nav pietiekams, lai šeit dzīvotu.
Stylistically in Latvian we don't say 'for survive here', but we say 'for living here'
5. Man joprojām ir grūtības, preču iepirkšana veikalos, kafejnīcās.
(*Now I still have problems when buying things in shops, cafes.)
- Man joprojām ir grūtības ar valodu iepērkoties veikalos un kafejnīcās. ( literal translation:"I still have troubles with Latvian when doing shopping at shops and cafes."
6.(*How to say"I will miss my Latvian lecturers" in English?)
Not sure what you meant by this. But if its typo and you meant in Latvian:
- Man pietrūks manas latviešu valodas nodarbības. (for future)

是阿，我在學中文。我住在捷克，捷克語是我的母語。
I know Czech is not very easy to learn as a foreign language. But speaking some Latvian will definitely be an advantage for you. The two languages are distantly related (Slavic, Baltic), share some structural similarities (seven cases for nouns and adjectives, including the vocative case, verbal aspect) and their phonetic structure is surprisingly close, given the distant relation and geographical distance (first syllable stress, vowel length separate from stress).

Paldies! Thank you for your corrections. I mean: "we have Latvian courses and other courses in the 1st year. But from 2nd year, we have not Latvian courses, but we still have other courses."
你在学中文吗？
(*By the way, are you living in Czech? I am trying to apply for Czech language preparatory course --in order to study Czech teaching programme later. :) )

Sveika Chenxi,
It is great to see people learning Latvian, it is a beatiful language. I am sure what you know already does help you in your life in Latvia.
I had a look at the corrections from Junuss Jahjajevs and there is one point I am not sure about:
You are trying to say:
"We only have Latvian courses in the 1st year. So we have not Latvian courses anymore."
My understanding is: In your first year, you had Latvian classes and some other classes. Now you have classes, but not Latvian classes.
Junuss' correction is:
"Pirmajā gadā mums bija tikai latviešu valodas kursi."
To me that sounds like: In our first year, we only had Latvian classes. Every class we had was a Latvian class.
If you want to say you only had Latvian classes in your first year (among other classes) and now you do not have Latvian classes any more, maybe you could say:
"Latviešu valodas kursi mums bija tikai pirmajā gadā. Otrajā gadā mums vairs nav latviešu valodas kursu."
But my Latvian is rather elementary, so we really need a Latvian person to check my two sentences.
Enjoy your stay in Latvia and good luck with your language and other studies. 加油！
