how language is learnt and what language is learnt from the tv?

Dude, you need to go back to school and learn some grammer.\nLanguage is learned by imitation and vocalization.  It is possable to teach a child two languages from the start.  Learning from TV could be any language that is spoken on that network, like the spanish stations.

The average adult knows anywhere from 40-50,000 words. I doubt anyone could learn to speak a foreign language better than a native without having lived there. You can't grasp all the nuances of a language without being immersed in their culture.

If you can, watch English speaking TV.  Read in English.  Practice speaking to yourself.  Read outloud.  Write in English.  Teach English to someone else - then you will learn it well, AND you will have someone to speak with!

Watch English TV shows (or DVDs) and listen to English radio stations. This will help you see how English is used in everyday life instead of just the proper stuff that they teach you in school.

The capacity to learn language is innate.  But the actual language that is learned is not innate.  The language that is learned is based on the input to the child.  A child with no linguistic input still has the capacity, but since there is no input, there is no language learned.

The universalists think that languages are basically the same. In theory, once you've learnt a mother tongue, you'll be able to learn more languages with the same ease or difficulty, as the case may be. There are those who claim that the processes are totally different. You LEARN a mother language, quite unconsciously. You ACQUIRE a foreign language and the exercise entails huge conscious effort. \n\nTeachers nowadays model their teaching process on mother tongue acquisition, applying what they term communicative approach whereby they endeavour to teach the language not the grammar. In other words, they provide students with a considerable corpus of language constructs, through conversation and other interactive activities, and let the students deduce, unconsciously, the rules governing a particular language.\n\nI personally can speak four foreign languages and I have always felt that no obstacle cannot be overcome if the right approach is applied. When I am learning a language I try to diversify learning channels: books, movies, songs, news, long conversation, etc.

practice, practice, practice.\n\nwatch tv shows or radio programs in English, and try to copy the words and phrases they use.

Reading books and magazines and listening to the radio is a very good idea. To dismiss TV is wrong because of course people speak English on TV. It's often not standard BBC English but it contains slang and colloquialisms that you need to know in order to communicate with people. I'm an EFL teacher and I know of a school in Clapham called TBG Learning. Not sure if that's close to you. I'm surprised you can't find anything in south London. Try learndirect.com for courses near you.

Immersion is the best way, I think.  That said, what can you find that is in Russian?  Television is best, so if you can somehow get any Russian TV programs or movies.  Maybe you could find someplace to rent the tapes/DVD's.  That wouldn't be free, but it would be cheap!\n\nхорошее везение

I assume you're talking about the main language a person speaks.\n\nIt is the primary language that a person is brought up to speak.  In an English-speaking country, most people's mother tongue is English.  However, if someone who has lived in this country all his/her life has parents from Italy (for example) his/her mother tongue would be Italian, if they spoke it at home all the time, or Italian and English if he/she was brought up to speak both equally well and fluently.

Watch lots of english TV

first of all, are you a visual person or an audio person? If you learn by visual, reading or watching movie (in your language) with subtitle (in the language you want to learn) will help.\n\nIf you learn by audio, listen to the songs (the language you want to learn) and find out the translated lyrics. Another way is to have someone to speak the language to. That helps a lot.
