Hello!
Your syntax is advanced! I wish my students could correctly punctuate subordination when they entered my class--and they're native American speakers of (American) English. You're doing very well. I was most impressed with:
And if some of you have any suggestions on its correction or alteration, I hope you could post them and I could learn from it.
I'd call that sentence particularly advanced for a non-native speaker of English. Very impressive, in fact. The only noticeable bumps in the road were the use of the preposition 'on' which seemed a bit off to my ear--but that's just my ear, calli'--and a pronoun agreement problem (i.e., 'post them...learn from it'/better: 'post them...learn from them', even though I realize you mean here that 'it' is the process of learning. Pronouns provide numerous opportunities for debates and nitpicking.) How long have you studied English? You are truly cruising along at a terrific clip.
Enjoy yourself here and tell us about your intriguing name, callithump.
Best regards,
Wordwind
