María studied English until the middle of the advanced level when whe was a teenager (14 years old), she spoke and wrote it very well, but she did not practice her English and so she forgot it. After some years she was invited to travel to Fort Clayton, Canal Zone in Panamá to live there for a month as she forgot something in grammar and losting the Enlish fluency to speak, she began to speak traducing by words. Passed many years, and María has used to speak traducing, so her English spoken and written worse, then she traveled to the US for three times in a period of five months and María have following translate word by word in English, her brothers that are American citizens told her that she spoke like "chita". So came a Germany woman to home that she didn´t speak spanish alone Germany and English and she was coming by job with her, then she thought that she need to study again her English language and she registered by a month at the ICPNA in basic 1, and so you would ask her, "but María you finished Intermedie 12 in the ICPNA".

When she was a teenager (14 years old), María studied English untill until the middle of the advanced level, when she was a teenager (14 years old). She could write and speak it very well, but she did not practice her English stopped practicing and so she soon forgot it. Years later, María was invited to travel and live for a month at Fort Clayton, Canal Zone in Panamá. She had forgotten her English grammar and fluency was no longer fluent, so she began to speak relearn how to speak English by translating English it word for word. After many years, María got used to speak translating Spanish to English word for word so her spoken and written English were worse her understanding of English had suffered due to her literal, word-for-word translations. She traveled to the US three times in five months. Her brothers, (who had lived in the US long enough to become American citizens), told her the way the that she spoke sounded made her sound like a "chita";**. Then,** a German woman came to her home that who did not speak Spanish, only German and English languages,**. She was going to be working with María, so María thought she should study English again to refresh the **her grammar and registered for a month at ICPNA (basic 1). Some would say, "But María, you entered at ICPNA for a month, and now, you are finishing intermediate level 12".." And To this, María would say, "Yes, but this is other history....." Now her brothers tell her your speak sound that she sounds like "tarzan".
other history I wasn't sure if this was an intentional error to show that her ability to speak the language was still flawed. If this was not your intention then you might try to replace this with "another story" or "a different story." A more colloquial way to express this would be to say "don't ask" or "skip it." Of course, these expressions would probably not be used by someone like the character in your story.
In your last sentence, you used a colon (:) to set up a quote, but when you do this you have to leave the quotation marks off, so you can either use a colon with no quotation marks, or a comma with the quotation marks.
Also, near the beginning of your paragraph, you write: the middle of the advanced level. This sounds somewhat awkward because you have not given any type of reference as to what the advanced level refers to. It would probably be better to say something like, "she studied (in school, at home, various textbooks, she took a series of language courses, etc) for 'x amount of' years," or "she became quite advanced in her abilities through hard work and practice." To say, "the middle of the advanced level;" however, makes me immediately wonder, "the advanced level of what?"
If you have any questions as to why I changed anything, please feel free to let me know.

You will not learn by asking others to do the work for you. For your own sake, please try again.
¿Usted no ha trabajado en esto en todo, verdad? Es exactamente lo mismo, de la que vi ayer. Usted no aprenderá pidiendo a otro personas para hacer el trabajo para usted.

She could write and speak it very well, but she did not practice her English and so she forgot it. Years later María was invited to travel and live for a month at Fort Clayton, Canal Zone in Panamá. She had forgotten her English Grammar and fluency, so began to speak translating English word for word. After many years María got used to speak translating Spanish to English word for word so her spoken and written English were worse. She traveled to the US three times in five months.

( this sentence is very unclear to me) She ?maria thought she should study English again so signed up within a month at ICPNA for a basic course.Some would say "But Maria you finished Intermediate (level) 12 in ICPNA before. And Maria would say, Yes but that was in the past.
I took liberties here trying to think of what you might be trying to say when it got a little unclear to me.
I will review it again if you want me to when you rework it.
Some of your essay is confusing. Please post your text in Spanish so that we can tell what you mean to say.
