Translation of abgelaufen

I thought it was great to hear from you. I would love to help you to learn Spanish. I'll write in English and you tell me the Spanish translation. I think that you're good enough for that exercise.
In order to quickly become successful, one would have to change certain points, at least in my opinion: After 5 months of learning, I have still not found the grammar practice on which I should concentrate.
I would be pleased if we can still keep the contact alive. In the future I will have more time to write emails in Spanish. At the moment I just can't. Sorry for being so direct but this is the truth.
