How I improve my English skills

Currently I stay in my vacation and I have enough time to learn English. It was a few months ago as I started with my English journey. Actually I began on August with my first steps. Until now, I prepared different ways to improve my language skills. I wanted to learn all disciplines although my English was not really good at this time. I read books and papers, listened to podcasts and NPR Radio, wrote emails and spoke with my English teacher every week and also with an AI Model. Moreover I learned my vocabulary with an app called Quizzlet. There is a website, where you can write your own learning cards. That's all good ideas, but my improve is through these learnings a little bit slower. Particularly my speaking skills, which I didn't many times had learned. I`m a bit frustrated about the fact, that I`m still shy when I talk to someone in English. I'm going to speak more English in the coming weeks. I really want to be able to speak fluently on the end of the year 2025.

Currently I stay in my'm on vacation and I have enough time to learn English.

You can stay "at" somewhere "for" your vacation, but you don't say "stay in vacation". Instead you say that you're "on vacation" to indicate it is currently your vacation.

It was a few months ago aswhen I started with my English journey.

"As" isn't used here, you can say "it was a few months ago when I ..." or "it has been a few months since I ..."

Actually I began oin August with my first steps.

In vs on on dates in English often confuses people. You can find images like this to give you some guidelines: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a9/d3/99/a9d39965fe9bcaeb6866dbce11ce9676.jpg . In this case, months are quite a general concept, so you do something _in_ a month.

I wanted to learn all disciplinesevery skill although my English was not really good at this time.

disciplines is too formal a word for language skills here.

ThereIt is a website, where you can write your own learning cards.

"There is a website" just specifies that a website exists. Since you're describing the website you just mentioned, you want "It is a website" here.

That'sey're all good ideas, but my improve is through these learningment with these tools is a little bit slower.

"That's" is, despite the "s", singular. You want "They're" here since you're talking about multiple ideas.

"improve" is a verb, "improvement" is the corresponding noun.

"slower" is used when comparing to something, but you haven't mentioned what you're comparing to, so better to use "slow" here.

Particularly my speaking skills, which I didn't many times had learned.

I'm not quite sure what your intended meaning is here. Some possible options:

"Particularly my speaking skills, which I didn't spend time on" if your point is that you didn't practice speaking much
"Particularly my speaking skills, which I often found I hadn't learned enough of" if you thought you had learned enough, but found it difficult to use.

I`m a bit frustrated about the fact, that I`m still shy when I talk to someone in English.

You actually might pause here when speaking, but the comma implies the two thoughts are less related than they are. I think it's better to leave the comma out when writing because of that.

I really want to be able to speak fluently onby/at the end of the year 2025.

"on the end of the year" is wrong, see the graph linked earlier for some guidelines. Here "by" or "at" can both work. "by" emphasises the time that passes and the process of getting there more, while "at" is just about a specific time.

Good luck with studying! I think the more you practice speaking, the more confident you’ll get :))

I believe in you! Speaking is a huge hurdle. Do you have people to practice with in real life, or will you talk to people online?
