Translation of recreative in German

So by age twelve, I had decided that I wanted to learn English and I was studying for the United States TOEFL at age twenty. Being bilingual practically from birth, makes speaking languages very easy for me.
I remember once again how I failed as a student, mainly in French class. Since I have lived in Russia, it was not easy to learn other foreign languages. The alphabet is also different.
I hope there were not too many mistakes here. I have learned Spanish not a long time ago and I am still very insecure! Tell me please, where do you come from and what you do?
