Question: How can people keep their language skills sharp once they have learned a language?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: People can keep their language skills sharp once they have learned a language by practicing regularly, seeking out opportunities for immersion and interaction, and using technology and media resources.

Reason: Regular practice and exposure to language can help to maintain and improve language skills over time, and can provide opportunities for cultural immersion and engagement.

Example: For example, someone may keep their language skills sharp by regularly practicing speaking and listening with a language exchange partner or by watching films and TV shows in the target language.

Alternative: While regular practice and exposure can be effective ways to maintain language skills, it is also important to recognize the potential for individual learning styles and preferences, and to seek out language resources and activities that align with these preferences.
