new leaves, old habbits

I'm currently working teaching English. I've been living abroad for (save some two-week stops) one year now, and I'm starting to notice that my English is fading. I always thought and argued that learning other languages improves your own mother toungue. It helps, but it's been a year since I've read anything much more complicated than a BBC article. When I write, it's to friends and family, who won't care if I make spelling, grammatical, sintactical errors. I don't get a pass because my Spanish is better if I'm being lazy with English. I'm now making a commitment to my three languages, every day. I'll be writing, reading and speaking each one deliberately. Otherwise, all I'm doing is accepting and letting slide that which I claim as a priority.
