How would one translate the phrase "to have a long way to go," in a figurative sense. As in, "I want to speak Russian proficiently, but I have a long way to go."
Thanks in advance

I should already know this since I've studied Russian for a few months but I'm still not sure of the genitive case. Will someone look these over to see if they are correct?

У меня (есть) + item = I have ___. (ex. У меня брат. = I have a brother.)
У меня нет + gen. = I do not have ___. (ex. У меня нет машины. = I don't have a car.)
У меня будет + item = I will have ___ . (ex. У меня будет машина = I will have a car.)
У меня не будет + gen. = I will not have ___. (ex. У меня не будет машины. I won't have a car.)
У меня был/а/о/и + item = I had ___. (ex. У меня был карандаш/была книга/было радио/были книги. = I had a pencil/book/radio/books.)
У меня не было + gen. = I did not have ___. (ex. У меня не было компютера.)
