Question about English (US)
What do you think about my self-introduction below?
If there is something sounds strange, feel free to correct it.
I was born in Tokyo, Japan, and then moved to Yokohama in 2007.
I'm an ex-nurse, a basketball lover and the founder of a juggling club in Yokohama City University. I don't juggle so often these days, though.
Actually, I hadn't studied English so hard when I was a student, but I finally resumed it in 2018.

In my opinion, you should change so often to “too often” and so hard to “too hard”. It sounds more natural in conversation.

I was born in Tokyo, Japan but I moved to Yokohama in 2007. I am an ex-nurse, a basketball laver and was the founder of the juggling club at Yokohama City University. I don’t juggle very often anymore these days. I did not study English very well when I was a student but I finally resumed my studies in 2018.
I changed owning a juggling club to past because you no longer own it.

I added another comma in your activities list and added a semi-colon to connect two sentences that were kind of plain on their own. I also changed a few words to help it flow better. Even if I didn’t change it, it was still perfect on its own.👍🏻👍🏻
