  Hi, Luis! Nice to meet you! Your English is not bad in general. Answering to your questions I should say the following:
  
  1. On the comment wall is better to say "everybody". It means that you apply to all members of the group. When you enter the chatroom, it is better to say "Hi, everyone". It means that you apply to each member personally.
  
  2. "Mother tongue" is correct but in American we say "the first language"
  
  3. The correct sentence is "I am sending you my "Hi!""
  
  I am always glad to help if I am able to. However I have to say that I speak and write American English although I studied British for about 15 years when a child and a teenager. But later on American replaced it almost completely.

  Dear Arif! The chatroom is not the best place to exchange ideas.
  I recommend everyone to chat to get some experience of communication but it is not the way of improving language. The people who have joined my group really want to learn or teach. So, it is the right place and you are welcome. Here are many discussions for different tastes and, sure, you can start any new one.

  Dear Tuan! These words are synonyms, but we do use them in difference ways.
  An objective, or a goal is an end or a result toward which an effort is directed. It is what you want to accomplish.
  It answers what you want to do.
  
  Our goal is to get more low-income voters to participate in our general elections.
  My goal this year is to get a better English vocabulary.
  
  An aim is the reason, purpose or intent in doing something. It emphasizes why you want to do something.
  
  Our aim in getting more low-income voters to vote is so they will be better represented.
  
  My aim in getting a better English vocabulary is to communicate better.
  
  A target specifies who or what receives the effort you exert. Or it specifically narrows down what you want to achieve.
  
  Our target in our voting campaign is the low-income voters.
  My target in getting a better English vocabulary this year is to learn 300 new words.

  Dear Juno! What you say is called "inhibitance". It is phychological problem. Or, it is also called "language barrier" or "spoken barrier". I have already answered to this question for so many times! You can read it below but to make a long story short I would say:"Forget that English is not your native, forget about accent (that is of no matter if your English is understandable), pull yourself together and try to overcome the barrier that is in your brains". We, people who speak it , will help you if we see your efforts.
