× I have ever learned history since when I was in elementary school until I graduate from Senior High School.
✓ I have studied history since I was in elementary school until I graduated from senior high school.
The sentence mixes present perfect with incorrect time expressions and tenses. Use present perfect 'have studied' with 'since' and a past time point 'since I was in elementary school'. The final clause refers to a completed past event, so use past tense 'graduated' not 'graduate'. Improve by keeping consistent tense: present perfect for an action continuing from a past time, and past simple for a finished past action. Suggested fix: 'I have studied history since I was in elementary school.' or if finished: 'I studied history from elementary school until I graduated from senior high school.'
× I personally hear about the storytelling in YouTube and it made me easier to memorize it.
✓ I personally listen to storytelling on YouTube and it makes it easier for me to remember.
Verb choice and forms are incorrect: use 'listen to' rather than 'hear about' for actively watching/listening, and use 'on YouTube' not 'in YouTube'. The second clause needs present simple 'makes' to match a general truth and a correct object structure 'easier for me to remember.' Replace passive 'it made me easier to memorize it' with natural active phrasing. Suggestion: 'I personally listen to storytelling on YouTube because it makes it easier for me to remember.'
× I also like to uh hear when I catch up when my teacher explain it.
✓ I also like to listen when I catch up with it and when my teacher explains it.
Use 'listen' instead of 'hear' for deliberate listening. 'Catch up' needs an object ('with it') and subject-verb agreement requires 'explains' for 'my teacher' in present simple. Remove filler 'uh' in formal correction. Also keep parallel structure: 'when I catch up with it and when my teacher explains it.'
× It's make us more nationalist and consider our younger nation to always proud to become Indonesian people.
✓ It makes us more patriotic and makes younger generations feel proud to be Indonesian.
'It's make' is incorrect subject-verb agreement; use 'It makes'. 'Nationalist' is inappropriate as an adjective here—'patriotic' is better. 'Consider ... to always proud to become Indonesian people' is ungrammatical; reformulate: 'makes younger generations feel proud to be Indonesian.' Use 'be Indonesian' not 'become Indonesian people.'
× Yes, it is very essential because we can learn a lot of things from history, such as what things, what things that, uh, can make us, can make us be be what?
✓ Yes, it is very important because we can learn many things from history, such as the events and decisions that shape who we are.
The original is repetitive, incomplete, and contains hesitations. Replace 'very essential' with 'very important' (more natural). Remove repeated phrases and filler 'uh'. Provide a complete clause: 'such as the events and decisions that shape who we are.' This gives a clear, grammatical example of what can be learned from history.
