English therapy #1

Two days ago there was a new special edition of "Sherlock" with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman on air. I saw it in Russian but then I've found this episode on the Net in English, I tried to rewatch it but I realized that I barely could understand 50% of the actors' lines. This thought terrified me a lot, so that I've decided to get more practice on the whole.
Recently I've been busy with Spanish, which is a new foreing language for me, I've been studying it since June of 2015 by my own, just for fun. Though it's not the hardest thing to learn, nevertheless it takes a lot of effort in the beginning and later too. That's why now I feel that there's a lack of English activity in my life.
Some people say that once you learn how to ride a bycicle you'll never lose this skill. Unfortunately the same doesn't come for foreing languages. If you don't practice them the lack of practice is likely to kill this precious skill of speaking and "knowing" a foreing language. And I just can't let myself to lose it because I've been learning English since I was 6 years old, all of my previous efforts can't be done in vain. And I love it with all heart, though nowadays most of foreingers learn it just because it's useful and because of all opportunities it gives.

My first note

I really want to learn English to speak free (it is better to say "fluently") while traveling. Also I want to understand English songs, films, read books. I hope that Italki will help me. I will be happy to new friends.
