I took Spanish through college level conversational. I have worked as a chef in Florida for some time and although I have Guatemalan co-workers I can't understand much of what they say, even though they can understand most of my feeble attempts at Spanish.

I am planning to move to Panama. I would like opinions from anyone who might have once spoken fair Spanish, lost it and went to a Spanish speaking country. Will it come back to me? I am working on web content for real estate in Panama and my web designer is in Costa Rica. Her English is so much better than my Spanish, that we gave up trying to correspond in Spanish, for effiency's sake. (The web content is in English.)

I welcome your input.

If you start studying Spanish again you'll see that you'll easily remember things that you'd forgotten. Good luck, try it again, you can!

Welcome to this forum that is a good site to start practicing again.

I was in Chile for a year and learnt Spanish fairly well (I thought). I went back to New Zealand for a couple of years and since I didn't have many opportunities to use the language, I lost a lot of what I had learnt. Then I went back to Chile after that and everything started coming back to me. The information is still there, it just needs to be "woken up". Of course at the beginning you have a constant 'It's-on-the-tip-of-my-tongue' sensation as you try and remember the words.
