What did you do before you came here?

I am still working for a Japanese company now. I came here by taking a sabbatical leave for a month to further improve my English proficiency. I am responsible for marketing and sales planning as a director. I have developed my career through working for several international companies for the last 19 years.

I am still working for a Japanese company. I came here by taking a sabbatical leave for a month to further improve my English proficiency. I am responsible for marketing and sales planning as a director. I have developed my career by working for several international companies for the last 19 years.

1. Remove the word "now" after "company" because it creates repetition in the sentence.
2. The correct preposition to use in this phrase is "by" not "through".
Wow. Working on the marketing and sales for 19 years is commendable. Why did you decide to learn English further?

This is because I need to speak English at my work. Also, it was decided that I will be more involved in global projects in my company. I need to have even higher English proficiency to move our projects ahead. It is not very common to have a one month leave in Japan. I actually make use of accumulated paid vacation to
take this leave.

1. Delete the pronoun "my" before "work" because it is redundant in this phrase.
2. The article "a" is redundant in this phrase, remove it.
3. The natural way to write this phrase is "month of leave".
4. The present participle "make" is not agreement with the words in this phrase, change it to the past participle "made".
That is amazing, being involved in global projects is one of the greatest achievements anyone could ever have. So how are your English classes going, are you still facing any challenges?

I have been studying English at Best Teacher for the last 2 years. I have taken more than 790 lessons so far. I think that my English capabilities are getting better and better step by step. My target is to achieve 1000 lessons by the end of this year.

1. An alternative way to write this phrase is "I aim to do 1000 lessons by the end of this year".
