Strongly second "expose yourself to a lot of the language" from my own experience with Spanish. Lot easier to get that exposure now than a decade or two ago, too.

- virmundi 8y agoWatch out for aging. My mom spoke French and Spanish aside from English. As she aged, she reads both and doesn’t understand why we can’t read too. My wife has a patient that speaks five languages. Her husband speaks 3 of them. As the patient’s illness progresses, she starts talking in a random language. Sometimes she gets lucky and it’s one of 3 her husband speaks.
