Forgetting languages - German

I seldom speak German, so I forget words and get a lot wrong. but I can still communicate and with a little effort can get it back to snuff, I think.

German is my native language. Just let me say: Your German is very, very good. :)

you guys have some particular experiences. I myself speak Dutch as a mother tongue, and when it comes to syntax, German and Dutch are very similar. Verb is suddenly thrown in the back of the sentence, or the preposition that agrees with the verb is thrown in the back of the sentence too. But learning English hasn't interfered with my Dutch. But I do have to admit that while learning French, it's like I started to forget which article agrees with which noun in Dutch.

Steve, your German performance was WAY better than you think. It actually kept getting more fluent as you spoke.

Du bist ein hochkompetenter Polyglot - Meinen Respekt!

I can write German better while I am sober, but my speaking ability vastly increases while I am drunk. No inhibitions about failing. haha.

I just stumbled across your channel, very cool!

doch man kann Deklination/Konjugation auswendig lernen, anders gehts nicht, weil man im Alltag fast eh nur 1 Person und 3. benutzt
