Tales from a parallel world.

English is becoming easier, surprisingly. I caught myself mixing words while talking with Russian speakers. On the forum, there's time to find the right Russian word, but in real life, I can't always do it quickly now.

But in general, you should be doing quite well now; besides English, you don't really have much of a choice when communicating with the locals, so you'll learn it out of necessity.

Yes, the English-speaking environment is motivating. Although, in reality, there is a choice – you can also communicate with the locals in Khmer, French (hello to the French colonizers), Thai, and Chinese... I don't even know, it's all so interesting.
