Thank you for sharing your "journey" with us. I, too, studied German in college, and have forgotten most of it by now. I think it would come back to me if I were to visit Germany once again and be immersed in the language. My piano skills have also gotten rusty. Bifocals and arthritis don't help at all. But I still play now and then, for my own enjoyment.

If I concentrate I can still think in German and formulate sentences and even writing -- some of the finer points of the grammar are not there any more, but you are right: immersion would probably bring it right back.
