I doubt that anyone really knows; I have found that in at least one case
(German) I retained the material much better than I thought I would, even
with years of total disuse.
I might suggest that any facts be related to structure and concepts. Are
concepts, once learned, ever forgotten? It is extremely difficult to test
this.
