Good way to say "My Spanish is getting rusty"

Good way to say "My Spanish is getting rusty"

votes

Hi everyone, I know this phrase won't translate directly, but I'd like to know some common ways of saying ones language skills are lagging, or not what they used to be. I don't speak nearly as well as I once did, so this would be helpful for me to know :/

Thanks!

When I typed in rusty to the dictionary it gave these examples that you can just subtitiute español:

Hace mucho que no practico mi francés.

My Greek is pretty rusty - me falta práctica en griego; Tengo el griego muy olvidado.

Katy provided great alternatives. Here are some others:

  • He venido perdiendo la fluidez en español

  • Ya mi español no es tan bueno como antes
