Dagane, what you say is true, it's always possible to forget words you don't often use.
I forget even Italian words sometimes, and I'm not saying Anki is useless for these languages, just that Anki (or a similar system) is a life-saver and absolutely necessary to keep up for languages that are further removed. Non-Indo-European languages do add a special dimension of difficulty to vocabulary study. For example, if I study an Italian word German-to-Italian, I don't need to study it Italian-to-German - if I can produce it, I can always understand it, too. For languages that are further removed, I always have to study both directions, because active knowledge does not always imply passive knowledge. And my goal isn't 50 books in foreign languages - 50 books is my general reading target, and of those I want to read at least 30 books in foreign languages other than English. I think reading 50+ books in a year is not too difficult if I set my mind to it, but reading 30+ foreign books will be a challenge because I read much more slowly. Following a discussion with Arekkusu, I shall now use our TAC Tandem log in order to log all my progress, so as to avoid double-posts and split conversations. This log is closed.
