Experiences with recovering a forgotten language many years later?
Hi, so long story short, a long time ago I was B2-ish in Russian, but I didn't keep it up while I was learning other things, and I've considered it largely lost...until recently, two weird things happened: 1) I was practicing Spanish, and suddenly Russian came out; 2) I had a whole dream in Russian the other night! Like, maybe it's just in there somewhere and I just can't access it "on purpose" at this point...
My questions are, has something like this happened to you with a forgotten language, and did you try picking it up again, and if so, did you find that it was truly still in there?
I've been busy with languages that have more meaning to my life currently, but I had really enjoyed studying Russian, and would love to 'dig it back up' if that's a thing.
Thank you!
