I agree that sometimes give and take is the only way to go. Hi Bee Ean, I think speaking French with your husband is the best chance for you to practice the language ;) .

When I met him I didn't expect myself to have to rely on a new language one day. These days I have been speaking French as I started my internship. I also practice my French while doing carpooling. I wish I could speak fluently, but on the other hand I sense too my English has deteriorated. I worked hard on English so I really wish I won't lost it. As for Malay, I have long given up. Since I have to keep my Mandarin and Hokkien, I need to take and give. When I was in Malaysia, my friends and family said that I didn't lost the languages. To keep myself up to date I read Malaysian news everyday so I got to pick up words. I do not speak good French, yet, bcos I speak English with my husband.
