× I can speak Indonesian English, just a little bit of English because I think English is really hard, you know, like the grammar thing and a lot of things.
✓ I can speak Indonesian and English, just a little bit of English because I think English is really hard, you know, like the grammar and a lot of other things.
The original sentence lacks the conjunction 'and' between 'Indonesian' and 'English', which is necessary to correctly list the languages spoken. Also, 'grammar thing' is informal and unclear; 'grammar' alone or 'grammar rules' is more appropriate.
× Yes, it's really difficult to learn a new language because this is the new language. Language that we're about to learn is not our maritime.
✓ Yes, it's really difficult to learn a new language because this is a new language. The language that we're about to learn is not our mother tongue.
The phrase 'this is the new language' should be 'a new language' because it is not a specific language previously mentioned. 'Maritime' is incorrect here; the correct term is 'mother tongue' meaning native language.
× And there is a rules that you have to understand every rules, every step.
✓ And there are rules that you have to understand, every rule, every step.
'There is a rules' is incorrect because 'rules' is plural; it should be 'there are rules'. Also, 'every rules' should be 'every rule' because 'every' is followed by a singular noun.
× He I think so, but I'm not really sure because learning English is really challenging, so it's gonna be a lifetime learning for me.
✓ I think so, but I'm not really sure because learning English is really challenging, so it's going to be a lifelong learning process for me.
The word 'He' at the beginning is incorrect and unnecessary. 'Gonna' is informal; 'going to' is more appropriate. 'Lifetime learning' should be 'lifelong learning process' for clarity and correctness.
× This might sound funny, but I am learning English because my boyfriend lives in the United States and I plan to move there with him within a year.
✓ This might sound funny, but I am learning English because my boyfriend lives in the United States, and I plan to move there with him in a year.
The phrase 'within a year' is not incorrect but 'in a year' is more natural and commonly used when referring to a planned move in the future.
× It wouldn't so embarrassing if I couldn't understand or speak English.
✓ It wouldn't be so embarrassing if I couldn't understand or speak English.
The verb 'be' is missing after 'wouldn't', which is necessary to form the correct conditional phrase 'wouldn't be so embarrassing'.
× I really feel important to improve my school.
✓ I really feel it is important to improve my English skills.
The original sentence is unclear and incorrect. 'Feel important' is not correct; it should be 'feel it is important'. Also, 'improve my school' is incorrect; likely the intended meaning is to improve English skills or proficiency.
