About my problems in the learning English
English is my first language which I began to learn one year ago. I have finished my elementary course recently. I can't say that learning english is not hard for me. I think I'm good at the reading and grammar for elementary level but I have the huge problems in the writing and speaking. Sometimes I waste a lot of time for making sentenses and my friends even can fall asleep while I do it. I often use dictionaries and different sites which help me to write in English. But I'm too tired from that because it's not like the live communication. I guess this problem appeared becauce I didn't have enough practice. Also there is one more problem such as "russian words in my head" when I'm speaking English. If I read english text I always translate it into Russain to undestand. If I want to say something I say it in Russian in my head and than translate it into English. There is feeling that I'm a human version of google translate, very slow version of google translate. I hope someday I will be able to resolve this problems and communication in Engslish will become more interesting and a little bit faster than now.

About my problems in the learning English
English is my first language which I began to learn one year ago. I have finished my elementary course recently. I can't say that learning English isI have this same problem of translating in my head. I think eventually, with enough practice, we'll start to think in the foreign language. Good Luck!

Beautifully written Marya. I am a native English speaker and I often feel the same way as you do, in complicating my life in what I want to say. and this not even a second language for me. May I make one suggestion though, which might help you?
Try breaking up a big written passage into smaller paragraphs..... this makes for a better grasp of what you need to say and certainly easier reading for your readers.
