English going

situation:

My friend asks me: how's your English going?, knowing that I'm learning English. What would be the natural English reply to such greetings?

Thank you. OJ.

It's going well. It's going poorly. " This means you're working at it, but either have no comment or no indication about whether you're doing well or not, or the explanation of how it is going is probably too long to explain and you don't want to get into it.
