How to kill your ability to read and write in English:) About for years ago I found a website with tones of my favorite series in English. My journey began with first subscription. I've started with "friends" and "gossip girl", both were previously seen in Russian. It was difficult to understand actors, but day by day it was getting easier and easier. My passive vocabulary is growing, I can easily speak in English (not flawless, of cause). For for years TV series and films were only English thing surrounded me. No books, no writing. So it's damn hard to describe my thoughts on paper without practice. Peace of advice : don't forget to practice every aspect of the language :)) even grammar!
