Any Italians around?

[Iwonder08]

I used to study Italian at the uni but forgot most of it.. Would you please help me to translate the following to Italian :
' I used to study Italian years ago because I love opera, but I have forgotten most of it by now'

They're probably lying low for the moment.

Studiavo l'italiano molti anni fa perchè mi piaceva tantissimo la musica dell'opera.
Però adesso non mela ricordo abbastanza.
Roughly!

Non comprerò questa tabaccheria, è graffiata.

Thank you

It should be "me lo" in that bottom sentence. "mela" is apple 😊

Or last line could be something like….

Ma ho dimenticato quasi tutti adesso.
