Starting to practice English again
In fall this year I am planning to study abroad in the States for half a year. But to do so I need to take an English exam in just a few months. In the past I mainly used Italki for language exchange in Japanese but this time around I want to find a partner or two to practice my English and get a feeling for the language again (So if you're up for some German language exchange contact me).
Two years ago when I was still in school my English used to be pretty good but since then I haven't practiced much. On top of that my Japanese studies might have made me forget even more English than I would have normally. Anyways I believe I could improve a lot just by weekly skyping in English. I also started to read a novel that I might tell you about in a future entry (I'm not very far yet and many words are difficult).
The exam/test I mentioned above contains reading and writing as well as listening and speaking. Writing might by far be my weakness (in any language, even German. Maybe I'm just not a good writer). For this text I sometimes needed to think for a long time before coming up with a sentence that satisfied me.
I am very thankful for your corrections. Have a nice day.

Starting to practice English again
In fall this year, I am planning to study abroad in the States for half a year (6 months would be a more natural way to say this). But to do so, I need to take an English exam in a few months time. In the past I mainly used Italki for language exchange in Japanese but this time around I want to find a partner or two to practice my English and get a feeling for the language again (So if you're up for some German language exchange contact me).Two years ago, when I was still in school, my English used to be pretty good, but since then I haven't practiced much. On top of that, my Japanese studies might have made me forget even more English than I would have normally. Anyway I believe (think) I could improve a lot just by weekly skyping in English. I also started to read a novel that I might tell you about in a future entry (I'm not very far yet and many words are difficult).
The exam/test I mentioned above contains reading and writing as well as listening and speaking. Writing might be, by far, my weakness in any language, even German. (Maybe I'm just not a good writer.) For this text I sometimes needed to think for a long time before coming up with a sentence that satisfied me (I liked).

Hi,
As others have said, your English is very good. Everything is easy to understand and the many of the mistakes you’ve made are ones that native speakers often make. There were just a couple of things that you phrased in a slightly German way, so I put other suggestions in brackets.
I‘d love to do some language exachange if you’re interested. I’m learning German. I don’t speak it nearly as well as you speak English but it could be useful.
If not, then best of luck with everything!

I'm starting to practice English again
In the fall this year, I am planning to study abroad in the States for half a year. But To do so I need to take an English exam in just a few months. In the past I mainly used Italki for language exchanges in Japanese, but this time around I want to find a partner or two to practice my English and get a feeling for the language again (So if you're up for some German language exchange contact me).Two years ago when I was still in school (better: When I was still in school two years ago,) my English used to be pretty good but since then I haven't practiced much. On top of that, my Japanese studies might have made me forget even more English than I would have normally. Anyways, I believe I could improve a lot just by weekly skyping weekly in English. I also started to read a novel that I might tell you about in a future entry (I'm not very far yet and many words are difficult) (better: and there are many difficult words).
The exam/test (both "exam" and "test" work well here, but it's best to choose just one.) I mentioned above contains reading and writing as well as listening and speaking sections. Writing might by far be my weakness by far (in any language, even German. Maybe I'm just not a good writer). For this text, I sometimes needed to think for a long time before coming up with a sentence that satisfied me.
I am very thankful for your corrections. Have a nice day.
Writing sure doesn't seem like a weakness in this post - you did a wonderful job. Good luck with the test! :)
