I've found two language partners. And also I have a teacher. So now I speak 5 days a week and very contented. Also I listen 5-10 Ted videos every day.
Yesterday I was speaking in English for about 3.5 hour with four people.

But writing and speaking are probably intermediate.(((
By the way https://show-english.com/ is a good website, here you can watch 40 min of any film with subtitles and study vocabulary for free.
I'm not sure that it reflects my level correctly, but the result was so pleasant, I just coldn't help not to post it. I remember, once I've been to BKC - house, maybe you know it, it's a language school, so there I sat the test. And writing test showed Upper-Intermediate, speaking was Intermediate. The problem with speaking is that I can't speak properly when I'm nervous, and I'm nervous, if I feel uncomfortable and shy with a person, who I'm speaking with. That teacher who tested my speaking skills was a very busy and serious man. He didn't ask me about such topics like family, hometown, hobbies and you name it. Instead his question was 'What would you do, If you were the president of Russia'. It was quite unexpectable, I was so confused and even don't remember what I answed. Now I understand my level mostly depends on interlocuter. I just ought to be relaxed and let it flow.
Дмитрий Бо, I also had a paid subscription in some website, but didn't use it much. 40 min is enough for me. For more video I go to youtube. By the way, if you keen on motivational videos, this is a great website https://www.youtube.com/user/marieforleo.
I started to read The Lord of the rings by Tolkien. Wow, it's so much easier than London. Also I got in touch with my old friend asking her to practise English together and she said Yes to me. I'm so excited. Of course, I'm taking lessons with a teacher twice a week, we've even finished advanced coursebook. But I don't feel confident in speaking. I'd like to have lessons every day, so I have to find more partners.
Please, guys, if anybody wants to have some extra English practice, write to me.
