Comment on If you had native-level fluency in a language, and don't talk in that language for a while, can you develop an accent later-on when trying to talk in that language again?

Not sure about an accent, but it will be noticeable.

From personal experience: I am aware that I often use structures specific to my current English-speaking region while speaking one of my native languages. Also, my slang and cultural references are really outdated. So I do not have an accent exactly, but it would be possible to tell something is off.
