Hello everyone, I'm a Spanish native speaker but I'm also fairly proficient in English (to the point that I have a British Council certification), and I'd like to practice some French or learn some Japanese. I can also help Spanish speakers with their English if anyone wants that. Let's be Language Exchanging Friends!

I think you can't forget the whole thing, but your brain wires itself to think faster in the language you're using the most every single day. I lived in Mexico for about 2 years (I'm Venezuelan), and even though both countries speak Spanish, I was losing my coloqualisms without noticing. Furthermore, I lived in the USA for 4 months and the switching from English  to Spanish was becoming a bit of a harder transition after a while, honestly. If you live enough time in a different environment, you'll forget your own a bit!

In my opinion, it's a matter of timing. If I have a good Internet connection, I will look for youtube videos, resources, everything that allows me to learn this new language. I have been learning some French through this method and it works wonders. On the other hand, I also own a book for those times when I'm not home and I want to study. It's a matter of being able to learn in whatever way you want, the way you feel comfortable.
