"Don't forget to switch off the light."
OR
"Remember to switch off the light."
Would the first sentence sound foreign?
Both are fine.
I've been told that a native-speaker wouldn't structure his sentence like the first one and that it would be a bit slavic?

I agree with freezeframe in all of the above.I've been told that a native-speaker wouldn't structure his sentence like the first one and that it would be a bit slavic?

I wonder if the Ukrainian teacher thought that the first one sounded Slavic because you didn't use a definite article before "light."
