I don’t have any channels that I would necessarily recommend, but here are some corrections to help you improve your grammar: **I** want to improve my grammar and vocab**.** Please suggest **some good grammar resources to me****.** >You need to always capitalize the pronoun “I” and “suggest” is a transitive verb; it needs an object. The comma should be a period (or semicolon -> ;)because these are two complete sentences. A period is required at the end of all sentences. **I** have been reading self-help books~~/novels~~ for quite **a while** (or **some time**)**,** but now **I** want to **significantly** improve my grammar ~~to a large extent~~**.** >Again, “I” needs to be capitalized. We also don’t say “self-help novels”. A novel is a (typically fictional) story with a beginning, middle, and end of a certain length. You can’t say “quite a few time” as this doesn’t make sense. You have to use an expression like “a while” or “some time”. We can say “quite a few time**s**” in some contexts, but not really in the perfect continuous because that aspect emphasizes duration. “To a large extent” sounds a bit odd here, so something like “significantly” works better. You also need a comma before “but” because it’s followed by an independent clause (can stand on its own as a complete sentence). You need a period at the end of a sentence. **I** recently **subscribed** ~~bought a subscription~~ **to** a vocab app (**I** am more **inclined** to learn something when **I** have paid for it)**.**. >”I” needs to be capitalized. You *can* say “bought a subscription”, but it’s a bit wordy. The verb “subscribed” is cleaner and easier. You need the preposition “to”, though, regardless of which one you choose to use. “Disciplined” doesn’t really work here; “inclined” is better. Again, there needs to be a period at the end of the sentence. **Please** suggest some good grammar resources**.** **YT** channels are preferable**,** but ~~informative~~ books are good**,** too**.** > When making a request of someone, it’s impolite and demanding not to either phrase it as a question or add “please” (or do both). You need a period here because these are two independent clauses and there isn’t a conjunction. “YT” needs to be capitalized because it’s an initialism. You need a comma before “but” because the part that comes after it is an independent clause. You also need a comma before “too” and a period after it.
