    She tells me, the problem with Italian men is "It's rare to find one you can fancy more than they fancy themselves".
    But hey, I never take my friends word and always prefer to find out for myself.
    More madness than method but it works for me.

    Think I'll try some of your tips.
    One thing I have tried to get a couple of years ago was an actual Russian language book.
    Most native speakers, probably like English speakers have forgotten how it was they learned their language.

    Back to serious stuff, the only way not to forget smth is to refresh it regularly. You're watching movies, that's good, but you should dust off not only your listening skills, but reading/writing and speaking as well.

    Try to read something in Russian every day. No need to shedule special time for that: if you read news regularly, begin to read it in Russian instead of English, or read books in Russian if you like to read fiction (Russian books are supereasy to find on the Web).

    Listening and reading are easy, 'passive' ways of using a language, don't forget about 'active' ways: speaking and writing.

    You can talk to the native speakers all over the world through Skype (I think there are special sites for Skype lovers).
    And write in Russian whenever you can: making a list for shopping, planning your day, etc.

    The best thing in these tips is that you don't have to shedule special time for Russian, taking it away from your usual activities, just remember to use it when you see an opportunity.

    Моя ошибка... Мой английский язык должен быть лучше... Так же как мой русский язык, я предполагаю?

    Это не ошибка. Слово так пишется по-английски. Обычно так, по крайне мере, и по традиции. В речи тоже "т" слышно.

    Это хорошо! Я немного волновался о моем Английском.

    strawberryfynch, насколько я помню, ты девушка (или девочка, или женщина ). Поэтому должно быть "волновалась", "волновался" — правильно, но это мужской род. А "английский" пишется с маленькой, ты сначала правильно написала.

    Matroskin Kot, да, верно, есть три варианта написания: borsht, borscht и borsch.

    По крайней мере в словарях t указывается в скобках.
