I’d say it’s pretty good! I lack a little in slang but otherwise I’m good :) I only get flagged as a foreigner in Russia when mentioning brand names like Kleenex or Tylenol. Or if I say something dumb like look for hair conditioner and actually calling it кондиционер in russian.

I had to google it. It actually is called "кондиционер", isn't it? I know I heard people talk about it.
