It made me think - at what point does a lack of knowledge of a language decrease to the point where you can no longer say you "know" the language?

I'm not sure if I'm still fluent enough for extended conversation. It's been years since I've used it -- I learned ASL so I could converse with a deaf friend in the mid to late 80's.
My finger spelling is still fine though.
