I'm learning two dead languages and I used to study German. Sometimes I'm trying to study or translate and my brain just stops taking in or putting out anything. Anybody else had that? If so, are there any work arounds?

    I’ve seen the blonde woman in these YChina videos do this. She’ll code switch into Chinese cause she forget the English words even though she’s a native speaker. I’ve never thought about it but I could see myself doing this off I ever got that far.

      Sometimes I forget the english names for foreign countries and just call them by the german one. Österreich for Austria or Deutschland for Germany makes enough sense, but I looked weird when I called the Netherlands der Nederlands.
