"My Spanish is very rusty but I would like to try."
How do I say this phrase in Spanish?

I went to the entry under 'rusty' on this site's dictionary page (blue toolbar - little searchbox with the magnifying glass icon). The SD dictionary sometimes has an equivalent to common English sayings that can't be translated word for word like "I'm rusty..."
Here is what it gave me:
My Greek is pretty rusty:
Me falta práctica en griego.
Tengo el griego muy olvidado.
Usually we ask that people give an attempt at translating it, but since your Spanish is rusty I have inferred that you are not a student trying to get out of homework.
Mi español no es suficiente, pero me gustaría tratar.
This is a very straight forward translation and it doesn't have the same implication as you are trying to say, that you once knew Spanish well, but no longer Speak it on a regular basis. Someone else here might have a better translation.
I hope this helps.
