Only been 2 years but I’m feeling pretty rusty. Not too many cebuano speakers

30 years later I still speak Spanish well enough to have a conversation, but

30+, and okay I assume. I still read well, though.

30+ and pretty well. I've made an effort to speak Spanish every chance I get, including just this morning in Walmart
