It’s a little unnatural because you can’t really be on your way to learning something. You’re either learning it or you’re not. So I think it’d be better to say:
Thank you all for helping me with my language learning journey.
Thank you all for helping me learn English.
Thank you all for helping me with my English studies.

@studiousboy It’s okay, but I think the others are more natural. That might just be my own personal preference though.

@bsloan7 Ok. For the “with my English studies”, can I use the singular form?
Thank you all for helping me with my English *study*.
Thank you all for helping me with my English *study*.

@studiousboy No, that isn’t very natural. “Study” is only used this way when someone is researching, analyzing, and/or doing experiments for a certain topic. For example, if you were trying to figure out how and why region affects accent in the US, then you could say you were doing an English study.

@bsloan7 Ah, noted. Also, can I replace “studies” with “learning”?
Thank you all for helping me with my English *learning*.
Thank you all for helping me with my English *learning*.

@studiousboy It’s grammatically correct, but not as natural as “English studies” in my opinion.

@studiousboy No actually 🤔 I’m having a hard time thinking of a situation where that would be the case.

@bsloan7 Ok. Then I’m inclined to say “English studies” always sounds more natural than “English learning”. Thank you! 😂
