Hello. Shall is normally an older term/outdated, but it is used at times in traditional songs as well as with religious reasons for some faiths. But for most day to day talk? Not used. "will" normally would be used instead pending on the context or "want".

Привет! English speakers tend to use 'I will', rather than 'I shall', as you're right it's a little out-dated. In saying that, we will understand either one.

I agree with Ben and Topo. I use it in my (northern, UK) speech all the time, though only in question sentences. "Shall I get that for you?, "Shall we go?"...
