Das ist sehr gut!

I'll speak in English for this, so you get some practice reading it. I've made the corrections under your original post, so now I'll explain them.

Your grammar looks pretty alright at the moment, but that's hard to evaluate with only a few sentences to read. As for capitalization, I don't know if you were just being lazy with typing or not, but I'm going to assume not, given the differences between the two languages.

In English, the capitalization scheme is basically switched. Obviously you're aware that most nouns aren't capitalized. The one and only exception with pronouns is "I", which is always capitalized. Further, all proper nouns (nouns that reference a specific type of object, e.g. house v White House, man v Superman, and dog v Saint Bernard) have to be capitalized. This means the names of all languages, when written, are capitalized.

You've also missed a few commas in there, but that's a common mistake, and fortunately commas aren't as important as they are in German. People may be a bit confused if you miss a comma or two, but the linear grammatical structure makes it easy to comprehend a very long sentence without using a single punctuation mark.

The last little thing is in regards to your first sentence. When you are talking about a direct object (in this case, the English language), further references to it should primarily be made with pronouns. This is also the case in German to some degree, but we have an easier time of it because all nouns are referred to as neutral gender unless they actually have a physical one (e.g. "Der Mann", aka "the man", would be referred to as "he", but "der Tisch", aka "the table", would in English be referred to as it).

I would assume that you knew all of this, but I don't know how long you've been studying. Again, it was very good, even if you've been studying for a while.

I'm trying to send a private message to you, but Italki's messaging feature has been bugged for a while. Hopefully it goes through in the next hour or so.

P.S. (that means postscript, for the record, and it is used to add thoughts to the end of a letter or monologue; I don't know if German has an equivalent phrase) I know I've written a lot here, and I don't expect you to get it all immediately. I could have made this response simpler, but I think, once again, that it will be good practice. Reading large blocks of a foreign language really helps to get an intuitive grasp of its structure, in my opinion. Talk to you soon!
