Do I forget English?
Hello, as my major is English and I used to translate different kinds of texts, I feel confident in speaking English. But two days ago when I was walking in the street, an American guy who visited Iran asked me an address. Suddenly I got confused and I didn't know how should I answer him! How could I tell him that where it is!
Ofcourse I could help him and he understood me completely, but I know that I made a lot of mistakes in grammar....
Then I realized that my English is not as well as maybe 2 years ago, idioms, formal sentences and grammar structures are fading away from my memory
So I've started to read and write more. So I'd be happy if you help me.
Best regards.

Yes, it's difficult! I can read a novel or watch a film and understand very well, but speaking and writing are more difficult.

I was in a similar situation the other day. I taught English in a private school but it is difficult to speak and write English without the smart phone for the moment. More power to you.
