First time here, first impression.

So there I was, surfing the internet and looking for things I didn't need or attempting to buy stuff I would't use when something clicked in my mind: "Why don't I use my spare time to invest in something that will give me a positive return?"

As a foreigner in the US for almost five years, speaking in English has always been very tricky for me. I'm not sure what happens, but I seem to freeze when there's the need to speak in that language.

I started to do some research on tools to enhance the learning process and this website was one of the first results.
Here I am, completely willing to give this a try and I really hope this works.

Please, whoever reads these lines and believes that he or she has something productive to say and things to point out regarding my vocabulary or writing, feel free to do so (a little bit of a runon sentence as well). I deeply appreciate your time in advance and I just can't wait to start extending my knowledge in English.

Very minor changes needed and some of them were technically correct but sounded better with a different word.
