Hi Language Buddy!

I'd like to share a really simple trick for those who want to keep a language in maintenance mode. For example, I've reached a certain level of proficiency in Swedish, which I would say is pretty decent. While I could spend more time studying it, I currently have a weekly language lesson every Sunday, where I engage in free-form conversation in Swedish for an hour. This helps keep the language alive in my mind and prevents me from losing it.

The same applies to my Italian. I have a weekly Italian lesson, and it's the only Italian study I'm doing right now. Listening and speaking in Italian during these lessons help keep the language alive for me.

Think of it like the "keep warm" mode on a rice cooker. Online language lessons are a great way to maintain a language you've already reached an advanced level in while you move on to the next language or attend to other life needs. This strategy allows you to preserve your language skills without losing them, even when you don't have the time to study that particular language extensively.

So, if you're looking to maintain a language while focusing on other aspects of your life or learning new languages, consider scheduling regular online lessons to keep your language skills warm and alive.

Take care and happy language learning!
