English is my native language. I have on more than one occasion gone blank trying to think of a word, only to remember it in Japanese. Which is particularly amusing when it’s the kana-ised version of the English word I had forgotten.

Spanglish much? Parlais Franglais? Denglisch sprechen?

Yes, especially with tech-words. Hell, I even don’t know what for example “exploit” means in my native language.

Yes and I got teased about it mercilessly for weeks after. All in good fun.

I speak three languages and whenever I’m with someone that speaks the same languages, I’ll revert to a mix of grammar and vocabulary that covers all three languages. I’ll continuously pick the next word in the language that comes to mind first and I can literally switch language 5-10 times in a single sentence

Everyone hearing me talk in moments like that thinks I’m insane, but it works perfectly

All the fucking time. Now I’m at this phase of learning my third language, where it starts to sip in. I can’t sprechen normally anymore, send help пожалуйста.

I’m only fluent in English, but I know fragments of many different languages. I get jumbled sometimes, and it’s weird. When I’m in a lot of pain, I tend to speak or think in German, for example. This is unfortunate, given that I don’t actually know much German. I often slip into French when speaking or thinking about time — for this reason, the vast majority of my friends have learned that “Quelle here est-il?” means “what time is it?” due to how many times I’ve accidentally asked that question in French

ever since my brain got hard-wired to think in English despite it not being my native language.

You can also have a cup of tea.

Holy shit, i thought that only happen to me, the worst part it when is an “easy” word
