| TallSilhouette said: I took four years of Spanish in high school and got to a conversational level for a while, but even living in areas with large Spanish speaking communities I still basically never used it and forgot most of it over the years. Sadly I think that would probably happen with any other language as well unless I deliberately made time not just to learn the language, but immerse myself in the culture and stay in it, too. This kinda rules out a number of languages I wouldn't mind learning as I have less interest in the immersion components. Still, I love watching videos from polyglots like Xiaomanyc and seeing people light up at being able to converse in their native tongue with a stranger. Maybe I'll find the motivation some day. |
That's so true. You gotta keep practicing after finishing your studies, otherwise you'll eventually forget most of the things you learned. It's not like learning how to ride a bycicle. That's why I intend to follow some French youtube channels and watch them in a regular basis, and also interect with the comment section
