My journey about in learning English

I decided to learn English when I was talking to my friend about my job and the importantance of speaking a second language is. So, they told me that He told me that he was also learning English, too and so we began to practice together. It has been almost two years that since this happened, and I'm I always practice reading, listening, speaking, and writing. I'm I also studying by using a grammar book, but and the next step that I want to do is keeping focus on conversation because I feel that I'm not so confident enough to when I speak, and sometimes I even forget the words even that I want to say when I'm talking to my friend.

You could ignore the following below, but this is how I would say this...

It has been two years since I started learning English. It all started back when I was talking to my friend about my job and the importance of speaking a second language. Coincidentally, he told me that he was also learning English, so we began practicing together. At the present time, I'm continuously upgrading my English language skills through reading, writing, speaking, and listening. I study by using a grammar book, and the next step I want to tackle is to improve my focus during conversations. I feel that I'm not confident enough when I speak. Sometimes, I forget the words that I want to say when I talk to my friends.
