Why do I forget 60% of the words I "know" in a language

I consume french media and I understand a good amount of what is said. But when I have to speak in my daily life almost all the vocabulary I understand from the media is gone and I'm stuck with limited vocab. It's not just in french either, it's the same with English but to a lesser degree. Even my mother tongue but I don't consume media in that language anymore. Does anyone have any idea how to remember that vocabulary?
