Yes, literally, you are right, but the phrase is used as an idiom, as noted before in this thread.
Yes just I though that possibility since the beginning.

Thank you for the corrections, I believe what I don't get better even with the language, I think what still I need more practice with the English.

What do you think about?

I think you are right. (I made corrections to your first sentence, but I couldn't quite figure out the second.) I think you can keep practicing English, and need to, but if you put your same sentences (or what you want to say in Spanish) English people would be able to 1) practice with your Spanish and 2) help you to better express yourself in English. That is maybe a bit more typing for you, but it will help you to improve faster and with more certainty.
What do you think?
¿Qué te parece?

Yes I have said this before, I can't write in two language, because I haven't time, and really I don't like to write in Spanish, I prefer the correction being in English I understand the your corrections.

What do you think?
Thank you for advice, really I believe I don't believe you can't understand me in many thing that I have wrote time before.

I thank you, your advance or support.
But I belief to me, really you can doing me a favor, please you correct me in English solely.

I need to improve my English with English through of conversations not with words, I need to learn to speak the language, I wishes that.

If you can give me that support then you're welcome.

Thank you again.
