<It's already been a month; 벌써 한 달이 지났다.> English & Korean(Mother tongue)
It's already been a month. When I first got here, It was really hard for me to live in Melbourne. But, I've got used to staying here at the moment. The biggest reason why is I got my a kind of job I desperate to work.
These days, all I think about is ENGLISH. When I was in Korea, I had thought my English is pretty good. But, after arriving here, It entirely changed. My English skill was nothing! Why can't I understand what people say? I closed to be crazy. Of course… yes, it is continuing now. Oh. Just should I study, listen, write more and more? And above all, I have to talk with people many times!
I am being depressed, but I know a good time is just around the corner! And everything's going to be OK. I want to enjoy being in the moment here. After I arrived here, My daily routine got simple. It is full of things simple but effective and creative that there are working, working out, editing(I make my videos&upload on Youtube), reading books, watching movies and have my own times. I really love it.
I like this city. And I'm going to fall in love if I can understand better what people say in English.(I hope so!)
(Thanks to all guys read this.)

: 벌써 한달이 지났다. 내가 여기에 처음 왔을 때, 멜버른에 사는 것이 나에게 너무나 힘들었다. 그렇지만, 여기서 사는게 이제는 좀 익숙해졌다. 그것의 가장 큰 이유는 바로 내가 정말 원하던 종류의 일을 구했기 때문이지.
요즘에 나의 주된 화두는 영어이다. 내가 한국에 있을 때, 내 영어 실력이 꽤 괜찮다고 생각했었다. 그러나 여기 오고 난 후로, 그 생각이 완전히 바뀌었다. 내 영어 실력은 아무것도 아니었다! 왜 나는 사람들이 하는 걸 알아듣질 못하지? 거의 미칠 뻔 했다. 물론...네. 지금도 진행중입니다. 오. 그냥 더, 더 공부하고, 듣고, 쓰는 수 밖에 없겠지? 아 그리고 무엇보다도, 사람들이랑 많이 얘기를 해야한다!
나는 지금 비록 우울해하고 있지만, 곧 좋은 날이 올 거란 걸 안다. 그리고 다 괜찮아 질 것이다. 여기에 있는 순간을 즐기고 싶다. 이곳에 온 이후로, 내 생활이 단순해졌다. 일, 운동, 편집, 책 읽기, 영화보기, 나만의 시간 갖기 등의 단순하지만, 효율적이고 창의적인 일들로 가득 차 있다. 이게 너무 좋다.
이 도시가 맘에 든다. 그리고 이 도시와 사랑에 빠질 수 있을 것이다. 사람들이 영어로 말하는 걸 좀 더 잘 이해할 수 있게 된다면. (제발!)

These days, all I think about is ENGLISH. When I was in Korea I thought my English was pretty good, but after arriving here my opinion has entirely changed. My English skill was nothing! Why can't I understand what people say? I close to being crazy. Of course… yes, it is improving now. Oh. Should I just study, listen, write more and more? And above all, I have to talk with people many times!
I'm depressed, but I know a good time is just around the corner, and everything's going to be OK! I want to enjoy being in the moment here. After I arrived here, my daily routine got simple. It is full of simple but effective and creative things such as: working, working out, editing(I make & upload videos on Youtube), reading books, watching movies and having time to myself. I really love it.
I like this city, and I'm going to fall in love with it if I can better understand what people are saying in English.(I hope so!)

I can tell that your English is influenced by Korean grammar. When in doubt, try switching the verb and object around to see if it makes more sense. You have a very advanced vocabulary and most of your mistakes are minor. Things like starting sentences with "And" or "But" instead of using a comma like "When I first got here it was really hard for me to live in Melbourne, but...". Good luck with your studies.

Thanks a lot for your help. I meant in sentences 'I am closed to be crazy... yes, it is continuing now.' that 'I was about to be crazy-yes, I wrote in past tense- but that situation is still proceeding.'

It's already been a month. When I first got here, It was really hard for me to live in Melbourne. But, I've got used to staying here at for the moment. The biggest reason why it has been difficult is because I have yet to find a job.
