It's important to seperate reading and writing. I can read German to an extent
that makes it 83% understandable, but I wouldn't be able to write a paragraph.
At least not without an imminent danger of grammar and spelling errors en masse.
The capability of writing a foreign language deteriorates much faster than
reading without constant practice IMO. The combination of a limited vocabulary
and the pride in avoiding jibberish is probably a good explanation. Don't you
have French as a second language in Canada?
