I’ve recently read a discussion in the forum about the maintaining or no maintaining our foreign languages.
I find this topic interesting for all learners of the foreign languages, that’s why I wrote an article with my thoughts amd my experience of it and Richard Coombes helped me with the translation into English.
Here is the link to this article - MAINTAINING YOUR FOREIGN LANGUAGES:

Thanks for this, Evgueny. Your account of your childhood experiences and heritage made it fascinating reading! By the way, my ancestors emigrated from Prussia to Australia in the 1800s :grin:

In good time! I was just talking to my wife about my current problem with languages. I speak natively Spanish, English since I live in US, Polish since I am married to Polish. I would guess that I would be something like B1 in Polish and I still struggle with the news and movies in Polish. I began French 8 months ago and I am really enjoying the journey.

We discussed about placing Polish into maintenance and having French as a main study language. Maybe I just read and listen TED talks/podcast in Polish would be enough for a long while.

No need to do anything with English or Spanish. They are pretty healthy.
