What languages do you speak? And how did you know that language? I'll start:

Solo hablo bien ingles pero puedo hablar un poco de español. Estudié espanol en mi escuela. Idk how to say it but I should add this was 3 years ago.

Technically also know some Yoruba but its at a really pitful level.

Do you ever feel like you start to forget some of the languages you are fluent in like Cantonese if you don't speak in it often?

Mando and Canto not rlly cuz I talk with my mom everyday in them. Korean i may sometimes accidentally slip in some tones from canto or mando and it sounds strange but not rlly grammatically if that makes sense.

I'd suggest just keep memorizing noun genders and verbal conjugations, imo those are the toughest parts to grasp for English speakers. once you're done with that, it gets a lot more recognizable.

Spanish (native)
English (started when i was 7 y.o playing and using a dictionary, NEEEEERD!), i have a couple of PET certifications, but more important, i practice it in different instances like the content i read/watch for almost everything (hobbies, work).

I tried to learn a little portuguese when i went to Europe, and i kinda did but never went back to it, so it kinda worked for a couple of weeks in Portugal, but then i forgot everything

Cantonese, English, Mandarin

Cantonese - I was born in Guangzhou in China, and I moved to a Western Country when I was 5. But I've always grown up speaking Cantonese to my parents specifically.
Mandarin - Sometimes, when I speak to my parents, both Chinese dialects can be used interchangeably and they will still understand. So, sometimes I speak Mandarin to them and sometimes I will speak Cantonese.
English - My formal education was in the white country I moved to. So my English would be better than my spoken Chinese dialects.
