A long way to go

Hi! I'm afraid I made more mistakes in writing this than I would have liked to, so... if you find any mistakes or unnatural sentences, please suggest an alternative. Thank you very much.

I know that there is still a long, long way to go before actual fluency, and that means years of constant, hard and sometimes occasionally menial work. Regarding the “constant” bit, I don't have the slightest concern, because I have somehow managed to make of English my main language, without overlooking despite the fact that I live in a Spanish-speaking country. and that Along with that come certain limitations, for which I have already found a way around: I can't, for example, go to a restaurant and expect the server to speak to me in English. I can, however, pay close attention to what it says  they say and revise my knowledge to see if I can come up with a natural translation . if If I'm satisfied, then I go on as if nothing had has happened. If not, then as soon as I have a chance, I write down the "chunk" of conversation that I didn't know how to translate so that I can to look it up later on and, finally, “fill the gap”, as I like to think of it. Now, the menial part has nothing of menial is not menial to me. It's something I enjoy, as well as a few other things: constantly using a dictionary, being on the lookout for words or expressions that I don't know the meaning of or that I would like to incorporate into my vocabulary, and stepping out of my comfort zone by not allowing myself to think in my native language, and that kind of stuff.
