I am not an expert in English grammar, but in this case I'll write "I hope to improve my English very much". I don't know which one is correct, so the English guru, please tell us. Thanks.

Of the two sentences, the first one ('I very much hope to improve my English') sounds more natural to me, but they both mean the same thing to me, that is that you have a great hope to improve your English.

'I hope to improve my English very much' sounds to me more like you hope to see a great improvement in your English, rather than having a great hope as in the previous sentences.

It is about the degree of emphasisEmotion: smile

to have strong emphasis on something we put the adverb in front as what ' much ' serves
