Please correct my mistakes in this post.

When I started learning English four years ago, I tried to take an online school's* session almost every day while looking for a patient tutor. In that online school, all tutors were non-natives of English. Back then, I had no idea how to say and what to say in English just like most Japanese learners of English. In other words, my spoken English didn't make any sense to fluent English speakers as well as the natives except for people understanding the Japanese language. I even felt like some tutors made fun of me even though it wasn't true. Once I found the tutor, I tried to speak basic English with her for 30 mins regularly. As a result, I pretty much got accustomed to it in six months. However, when I talked to an American man online afterwards, I couldn't catch up with his English at all. It sounded like some kind of noises to me. That's why I looked for a native teacher providing a private lesson in person for a reasonable fee on the internet. Eventually, I found my current teacher. He is an elderly American whose wife is Japanese. He doesn't speak Japanese, but it doesn't matter because I don't learn Japanese from him. I asked him some questions every class. He always gave me helpful advice and I did what he told me. In addition, I have worked hard on my accent reduction while taking sessions on italki, and I tried to talk to Japanese learners in English to help them with Japanese. When I visited the U.S. a year ago, many locals said to me "Your English is very good." or "How did you study English?" as soon as they knew I was Japanese. Nevertheless, my English still sounds awkward. Not to mention, I need to practice more English to get fairly fluent. I would say practice makes perfect once you find how to learn a foreign language the proper way.

*Maybe someone can correct me, but I think it doesn't need the 's. I just can't figure out how to explain it. Ahaha. 

But thank you so much for sharing. I believe people will find this very useful. :)

How I Have Learned English

When I started learning English four years ago, I tried to take an online class almost every day while looking for a patient tutor. In that online school, all tutors were non-native English speakers. Back then, I had no idea how or what to say in English just like most Japanese learners of English. In other words, my spoken English didn't make any sense to fluent English speakers or to native English speakers except for people who understood the Japanese language. I even felt like some tutors made fun of me even though it wasn't true. Once I found a tutor, I tried to speak basic English with her for 30 mins regularly. As a result, I pretty much got accustomed to it in six months. However, when I talked to an American man online afterwards, I couldn't catch up with his English at all.

**Good job! Keep up the good work! I understand your experience well. My Japanese also doesn't make sense to most native or fluent speakers. Thanks for the encouragement!
