Ⓜ️ystique
I speak fluently with good grammar but it does not mean I don’t make mistakes sometimes or I sound natural, because In my language if i form grammatically correct sentences it’s automatically means I am speaking correctly but that not the case in English language, and I just realized that recently because when I talked to native speakers in my travel they do not correct me so I assumed my English is good but it turned out it’s not ! So when I started asking questions in italki I started to hear from teachers saying your sentences are grammatically correct but they are awkward and does not sound natural. So there is no rules to follow but to copy how native speakers talk, Luckily though I am Mystique and copying others is my forte !

Say nothing, write nothing. Which is stupid. So it’s great you sometimes make mistakes because it means you’re doing something, you’re trying to improve, you’re writing here lots. Well done. You do so much very well imo. And the more you do, the better and more natural you will get. And never forget too we all communicate with each other here to….communicate! Not to boast, show off, prove we are smart etc. We communicate simply to communicate. And you always communicate successfully, we always understand you. That’s the main objective!

Listen for pauses, remember to put full stops and commas in those pauses. Your words and grammar are good, but it's difficult to know when reading it where your sentence stops and a new one begins.

What is this native language of yours in which every grammatical sentence is correct? Your profile doesn't say.

I speak fluently with good grammar, but it does not mean I don’t make mistakes sometimes, or I sound natural. Because in my language if I form grammatically correct sentences, it means I am speaking correctly. But that is not the case in English language. I just realized that recently, because when I speak with native speakers in my travel, they do not correct me. So I assumed my English is good but it turned out it’s not ! So when I started asking questions in italki, I started to hear from teachers saying your sentences are grammatically correct. But they are awkward and does not sound natural. So there are no rules to follow, except to copy how native speakers talk. Luckily though I am Mystique and copying others is my forte !
I have corrected where I think, as a native English woman, the full stops and commas should be. I am educated in English grammar and write books. But even amongst the English speakers we still argue and disagree on some of the grammar! On reading your message it did sound like you have very good English. The grammar isn't something you should worry too much about, as you say, it's better to listen to the natives. Across less than 100 miles apart, words and pronunciations in England will change! ' I'm not,' will become 'I ain't' or 'I amma,' or even I hain't!' Yes can be said as 'aye ' ' yeah' 'yeh' or 'ah'! You're really doing well, I'm leaning Polish and I'm no where near being fluent yet! Best wishes
