I like my English in general, I don't think I need to speak like Shakespeare, but my teachers do. And they're trying to stuck into my head as many difficult words and phrasal verbs and idioms as possible. And still I know so little. So what's the point?
I think that I can always use a dictionary. Or, if I can't, ask about the meaning. It's not that hard, and I seriously don't believe that average British knows half of that rubbish they tell us to learn...
Btw, I read e-mails my dad receives from one Scottish guy and this is hardcore :)
