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?

Yes, I can attest to this from my own experience. I speak so much German all day every day that, when speaking to my Dutch friends and family, I sometimes start using false friends or even awkward sentence structure.
