you setup an EXAMPLE for English learners

All in all, you've roughly devoted yourself in English learning for roughly one year, yet you've reached curent level (we all see), you've achieved a lot. Moreover, this is done in your spare time without attending specific training classes (mybe some, but not a big deal).
No pain, no gain. Devote yourself to it, you will get your aim. It also shows that your way of learning is of a big success.
