Learn the "mathematical English"

Hi all,
I have studied mathematics for several years in my native language. Now
I am in an English speaking country and I feel like handicapped because
I wouldn't know how to read even the simplest formula.

Do you have any advice to learn how to read mathematics in English?
Maybe a book from the basics up to the academic stuff?

Thank-you in advance,
Apple Pi

Haha -- thanks -- I'm still learning.

The problem is, I'm forgetting faster than I learn.
