I had 12 years of English and Spanish and I'm still having lessons in the University so I can't say picked all up THAT quickly, I just got considerably better in applying my knowledge to real life because of fandom and tv-shows, my Spanish was always better but now it got worse because of all the amount of English I'm absorbing XD
I had 5 years of French at school (yup, I went to a school with three foreign languages ;)) and after a 2,5-year break I can barely utter a word,too XD The reason may also be I never liked French, I still don't XD I started German and Italian that Autumn so we'll see how it goes ;D
I think that's a good way of doing it, because books teach you the most random phrases. Yeah, they also teach of old-fashioned language and stuff XD My friend showed an Irish guy one of the lists of words we had to memorize and he was,like, "LOL, WUT? I don't even know what those things are" XDD
