> Now, three years after I left school, I also really fear for my ability to speak English. Don't. Like you, I seldom speak English for more than a year, now. (I do read, write in, and listen to English almost every day.) The only possible difference is that I often proofread myself aloud (well, whispering, actually). Two days ago, I had surprise phone conversation in English. Switching my speech to "English mode" took me 5 second. After that, I was fluent again.
