The German Language
I have never thought that will be learning German. The circumstances have developed in interesting way for me, when I have to start to study it. I want to prepare for my first lesson with the teacher, because I do not want to study one level too much time. I have found video on YouTube called ‘All German grammar for 15 minutes’. I was impressed by the similarity between German and English grammar as well as between German and the Russian language. Now I want to much more thinking about learning a language as a process. I admit the possibility that learning German will give me the opportunity to better understand English, which I have been studying for 5 years: but still, this may be only the first impression of getting to know the German language.
The German Language
I have never thought that willI would be learning German.
When you are in the past describing the future, will turns into would. I'm not sure how to remember this. In the past you didn't think this future would happen, and now you are in the present you see that it wasn't the case.
The circumstances have developed iis is an interesting waydevelopment for me, whenand now I have to start to studying it.
Did you already start learning? I do not know from your original sentence if this should be in the present or the past tense. I made it the present tense, but think about whether this should be "This was an interesting development for me, when I had to start studying it"

Feedback
Very good and understandable. It wasn't clear whether you had started studying German or not. If so, some of these sentences should be in past tense.

Thank you for help
In first and second sentences I used Present Perfect to show that I have got a result. Now I see that had some mistakes:
1) I have never thought (present perfect) that would be learning German.
2)The circumstances have BEEN developed. I guess that miss 'to be' here
Is this correct now?

1) "I have never thought" sounds strange to me, but you are right that this is grammatically correct. The "never thinking" was in the past, so "I had never thought" or "I never thought" sounds better to me. "I have never thought that!" makes me think you are defending yourself, like "why would someone think that I would be learning German?"
2) Either phrasing is fine, but a native speaker would never use the phrase "the circumstances have developed", you can have "developing circumstances" but that feels more like a set phrase. That's why I reworded it.
