Improving Russian vocabulary?

I've noticed that my biggest problem with learning Russian has been my inability to remember vocabulary. I can remember (most of) the rules for which gender/case/tense gets what ending, but I spend far too much time looking up words in a dictionary.

Does anyone have any recommendations for effective ways to learn foreign language (particularly Russian) vocabulary? I'm well aware that there's no "shortcut" to learning a language, but maybe some of you have some useful suggestions!

Thanks a lot!

Here's what I would like you to translate in Russian please:

A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.

Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.

I was randomly wondering about the number of tenses in the Russian language. I remember someone once told me that there are around 50-something, and that we don't use a lot of them (from old Russian?) and don't notice when we use the rest. That sounds like an insanely large number, and I have no idea if there's any inkling of truth in it as I've been living in America for 12 years and speak Russian only at home (never formally studied grammar). I'd love to hear any thoughts about this! :-)

I'm looking for a translation agency in San Diego, California specializing in Russian translations, which can provide certified and notarized translation of my Russian birth certificate into English to submit the translation to INS.
