I'm also pretty certain: deep enough conversations, periodically, prevent language attrition (I speak one language natively, three fluently).

I'm also pretty certain: deep enough conversations, periodically, prevent language attrition (I speak one language natively, three fluently).
- tashi 5y agoThat's a very impressive achievement, but I think this is one of those classic examples of the post hoc fallacy, "I succeeded by doing this, therefore those who do this will succeed." That logic is unsound.
- tasuki 5y agoYes, that logic would have been unsound. It was not my reasoning, just a data point, and not a very impressive one :) Deep enough conversations, periodically, prevent language attrition. How can I convince you? It's really just like anything else: practice helps. Is that a controversial claim?
