I'm in Japan. I can get by but I kind of lost motivation to study because I speak English at home to my kids (jpn wife) and teach English all day at school. Not so many opportunities to speak now but my understanding is not bad.

Funny thing... I'm Polish and I live in Poland so I'm supposed to speak Polish very well..but... It often happens that I can't find a polish word but I know the english equivalent
And after being two months in Canada this summer my polish was really bad for a while It's mainly because my family in Canada used some kind of Polglish -I mean they mixed english with polish so often that it stuck in my head...
