I'm now studying English. Though I have been in the U.S around 5 years, it's still hard for me to write in a correct English.

Help me.

Thanks!

Good luck!

You probably have better English than you think. :)

S for around 5 years, it's still hard for me to write correctly in English. (or: it's still hard for me to write a correct English sentence.)

You made little mistakes, that's good.

Keep on practicing; soon you'll be able to write easily in English.

Keep it up!

I'm now studying English.
I'm now studying English. Because of the "now," this sentence implies that you haven't studied English before. If it's true that you haven't, then it's fine; if, for example, you're taking your first English class in a while, you could write "I've just begun an English class."

S around 5 years, it's still hard for me to write in a correct English.
S around 5 years, it's still hard for me to write [in] this "in" is optional, and it sounds a little better without it a correct English. If you really wanted to use the article, and say "to write in a" something, you could say "to write in a natural-sounding idiom."

I hope this is helpful!
