Just to make sure it's clear.

It's always: English, French, German, Haitian, Indian, Japanese and never: *english, *french, *german, *haitian, *indian, *japanese.

Yes, it looks fine to me. You can also use at in place of in.

Ooh
I misunderstood when you said "not a teacher"
I thought you mean me
I would change it to a student or learner. I felt frustrated.
sorry

No worries, sash2008, you're not the only one to have misunderstood something on this forum. :-D

. . .and help me to get high.

You need to rephrase this, sash.

'...to get high' means to become euphoric on drugs.

You are not student nor teacher, so what are you?

That's a good question, sash2008. I'd call myself an English language enthusiast. :-D

I am not a teacher.

It's "English" in your fragment. Nationalities, their languages, and words directly derived from them are always capitalized in English, but some words originally based on nationality have become ordinary words and take lowercase, for example, "He chalked the cue well so he could get more english on the ball" and "Sadly, india ink doesn't wash out". I wanted to mention this because everybody was saying "always".

Personally, I wouldn't go that far to say that such use of nationality words is fine, whatever the grounds it is based on. From a prescriptivist's point of view, I think that English, India and the likes ought to always be capitalized.
