    Ich möchte damit sagen, dass mein Englsich mit der Zeit eingerostet ist und damit auch nicht mehr ganz so gut wie früher, und ich erst langsam wieder reinkommen muss, bis es perfekt ist :)

    I want to say that my english has gotten/become rusty over the years, therefore it is not quite as good as it was before and I hope to slowly pick it up until it's perfect.

    >>my [E]nglish has gotten/become rusty over the years

    That's fine, and to my ears a better verb tense than #2. You could say 'My English got rusty when I was (living in China).'

    Or 'has GOT rusty' if you're writing to British friends -- otherwise they'll think your English has become both rusty and Americanized. :-)
