So, I was wondering if anybody has experienced this phenomenon of forgetting simple words from your native language when learning another? I've been immersed in Spanish for about 33 days now for 4-6 hours a day. I have had to go to the wife and ask "how do you spell Lesson in English?".. for some reason, I thought there was an A in there somewhere. I knew perfectly how to spell it in Spanish tho. And while in the middle of a session, (my headphones on), she'll come ask me a question in english, and I just lock up for a couple of seconds and not know how to answer her.... it's kinda weird. It's like your brain that has known these words for decades decides to put them on the back burner while new words are coming in.
