definitely not, that'd be ludicrous (and impossible, really)

Not impossible. It happens.

@lovelldo: to be forced to? (yes, some ppl will lose it .. eventually from disuse)

I guess I can't speak for every situation or country.

@lovelldo: but say you been speaking Spanish for over 18 years as your first language it's kinda hard to forget your native language.

Spanish is one of the most common spoken languages in the world.

Well it's very common in South America. But my point is you have speak it every day to get better at speaking Spanish

I just mean that the more common a language, the less likely it is to be forgotten.

@lovelldo: well can you go to Mexico & hear people speaking English?

I've never been there.
