Hi everybody,
Thank you "notrpere" for your correction, I have a question.
Can i say also
"I have anew the chance to practice my English." or only. " I have the chance to practice my English anew."
Thanks.

Hello, yes you can say that too, although it would be more formal.

Bonjour,
voilà votre phrase:
It's a long time I lost contact with English as a foreign language for me,but through this wonderful site I have a new the chance to practice my English.
En voilà une traduction littérale, style traducteur automatique:
Il y a longtemps que j'ai perdu contact avec l'anglais comme langue étrangère pour moi mais à travers ce merveilleux site,j'ai à nouveau la chance de pratiquer mon anglais.
Attention, "la chance" au sens de "l'occasion de" se dira : the opportunity.
"Chance" en anglais peut avoir un autre sens.
à nouveau signifie encore,
Practise est un verbe, practice est un nom.
Voila ce que peut donner votre idée en anglais:
I lost contact with English as a foreign language a long time ago but thanks to this wonderful site, I have a new opportunity to practise my English//
I have the opportunity to practise my English again // I have a renewed opportunity to practise my English (again)(un peu littéraire)
anew est très littéraire.

Hello!Thank you for your contributions gerondif. For the sake of our trivial pursuits:
practise (verb) practice (noun)
practice (verb/noun)

Hello again;
Thank you Gerondif for your answer, it 's so nice from you to expalain and translate what I wrote.
I wonder if " It 's been a long time" and "It's a long time" are both correct in my sentence.
Thank you notrepere for your help.

Hello!It's = It is/It has = present tense
Since you are talking about the past, "It has been" is the correct choice. However, gerondif's rewording of your sentence is best.
