It’s sad. I grew up in a large extended French Canadian family, and many of my elders spoke French as their first language. I practiced with them all through my four years in high school (although there are quite a few differences in the languages) and was quite fluent. But if you don’t use it, it filters into some back room in the brain! Thank you!

I see. Well that’s great that you had fluent family to practice with at the time. Absolutely! It’s definitely still there, because our brain is a remarkable muscle. Everything you have ever learned is up there, it’s just the strength of the neural pathways (they make up everything you’ve learnt). No problem at all, bonne chance!
