Learn these short forms called contractions:

I am = I’m
they are = they’re
you are = you’re
we are = we’re
he is = he’s
she is = she’s
it is = it’s
am not = aren’t (only in questions)
is not = isn’t
are not = aren’t

In questions, use aren’t as a contraction of am not. For example, you can say:
I’m taller than you, aren’t I?

But in a statement you say:
I’m not as old as you.

A good way to improve your English skills is to practice speaking. Tongue twister is a good way to improve your pronunciation and enunciation of English vocabularies.

Try to read the phrase below. At first, do it slowly:

Silly Sally swiftly shooed seven silly sheep.
👧🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏👧🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏


Then, read it with an increasing speed:

Silly Sally swiftly shooed seven silly sheep.
👧🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏👧🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏

Lastly, try to repeat it twice or thrice:

Silly Sally swiftly shooed seven silly sheep.
👧🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏👧🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏
Silly Sally swiftly shooed seven silly sheep.
👧🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏👧🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏
