How to improve writing skills ?

I am not quite sure if i am at right place to ask this but i hope someone will help me out. The problem i am facing with my english is that i am having very hard time expressing myself especially when i am writing. I have never taken any english class whatsoever, i had chance to learn it in english spoken countries, did little practise and i have had huge interest improving my english. Now that i understan %80 percent of any tv show, newspaper or so, i still struggle finding the right words to set up a meaning in a way that sounds advanced. When i write i feel like i stuck with the certain patterns and simple sentence structures, anybody can that much good. It dosent seem it is written by someone who has been speaking for years now. What should i do ? reading, writing, grammar?

  • If you have friends who are learning English, share it with them, and use it in sentences.
  • Every time you read a sentence construction you don't recognise, or one that conveys a particular attitude or mood, analyse it carefully, break it down into its grammatical elements, and maybe ask a native English speaker to explain it in detail.

I suggest you read a wide variety of books (stuff written by REAL authors; reading YouTube comments will not help - in fact it will make your English worse!) and whenever you see
