Untill

Hi.
Is the use of 'untill' correct in:
"He talked to me for almost 2 hours
I understand what should I do to handle this and not let it happen again."

That is not a word, and it does not appear in your sentences anyway. Here are your choices: until till 'til Only the first is standard.

Sorry, the sentence is:

recently my in-laws [in-laws??]disturbed me and makes some troubles for my life which I couldn’t handle, so I decided to see a consultant which is specialized in family problems.He talked to me for almost 2 hours until I understand what should I do to handle this and not let it happen again.

Poor "till." People seem to think it's non-standard, a slang form of "until."
It's actually the older word.

Why not 'some troubles'?

soheil1Why not 'some troubles'?
It is not a natural expression. We use the uncountable form unless we happen to be enumerating them.

I think the writer is enumerating:first trouble, 2nd trouble, etc

Do not confuse grammar with real life—and real life that you don't even know about. End of discussion.
