How to remember a language you've forgotten?
I studied Chinese for several years, but I have forgotten most of my vocabulary and grammar. How do you force yourself to review the basics when most of it looks so familiar, but you don't know all of the basics any more?

How to remember a language you've forgotten?
I studied Chinese for several years, but I have forgotten most of my vocabulary and grammar.  How do you force yourself to review the basics when most of it looks so familiar, but you don't know all of the basics any more?

Answer

A true language learner will not stop learning a language. A true language learner will keep learning and try to learn more and more languages. A swimmer maybe stop swimming for some reason in a certain time, but a true swimmer will pick it up. He/she may not swim as good as before. It doesn't matter. He/she will try it again, even better, cuz he/she is the true swimmer.
加油吧，其实你可以的，你只是需要鼓励自己。
