Well, I'm learning it since 3rd school grade (and even at university) for 12 years. Changing schools and attending university created some difficulty spikes and falls so I had to adapt. My English was not that horrible but not decent either. That was until 2 years ago when I started playing Ace Attorney series, completing one game after another. That has actually buffed my English skills. Then I've realized that I actually enjoy speaking this language, reading it, hearing it. Nowadays, it seems kinda intuitive to me: I read English books, play English games without subtitles, watch English videos perfectly understanding what's going on. The only problem is that these skills need to be supplied almost constantly and that's kinda problematic because we have English lessons only once every two weeks now, and that's clearly not enough to keep skills of speaking on constant level at least.
Main problems for me:
Articles. I don't really know how to use them, relying on my intuition for that.
Present perfect/Past perfect. Russian language has 3 tenses: past, present and future. As present perfect describes a completed action, past is used for that in Russian. That's why it's really hard to distinguish past simple and past perfect/present perfect.
British/American English. Not that big of a problem, actually, but this inconsistency still bothers me as I don't really understand whether I'm using British one, American one or mixing it up.
Anyway, English is a beautiful language and I really enjoy it
