On subject of staying proficient.
There is one language I know, but never use. Can not mention it here, for privacy reasons as there are not so many of us
To stay fluent in that language all it takes for me is to read news once every few days.
Very easy way of doing it. You read news anyway. Once you do it for a while you will find your fingers opening the familiar website automatically each time.
The other question is whether you really want to hear news, as it is always negative...
As for learning you might want to check my lazy language learning guide.
