Do you guys speak a mix of your languages?
Like I’m a Spanglish speaker sometimes since I already know Spanish (my native) and English!!
¡Buenas noches a todos! I will probably go dormir ya que son las 23:20 where I live.
sometimes I can't get that word in a certain language, but it comes up in the other. SP/Eng/TR
Ahh makes sense.
you summoned a poliglota! estou aprendendo plusieurs langues, incluyendo mi lengua materna de español. 我爱galegoとgiapponese aussi !
I think I recognized some of the languages you used (English, French and a bit of a Chinese language, and Japanese), and I find it funny that I think I understand what you are saying:
You summoned a polyglot! I am learning/understand several languages, including my Spanish mother tongue. I like Galician and Japanese too!
Of course, false friends abound so I might be off the mark.
yep!! perfect!
Whoa :o
Speak, rarely, but when thinking, yeah, exactly what you describe. Also, sometimes there's a concept that's just described better in one specific language.
For speaking I have more of a “switch” going on. Besides, I'm always mindful of people around me not speaking my other languages. On the other hand… when talking to someone who shares more languages, I feel we can achieve some nice compression by mixing and matching.
Completamente agree with you.
My kid and I sometimes speak to in each other in a mix of three languages, and neither of us really notices when the other changes language mid-sentence. Doing the same with a friend I started hanging out with, with the same languages. I've noticed that I find it easier to speak about psychological things in English, and about gardening in Portuguese - that for each to pic I have my preferred language, but will throw in whatever word I cannot remember in another language. It's faster to communicate like that with my friends and family than religiously sticking to only one language.
I sometimes use Norwegian words in my notes & diary, but i mostly just speak and write in my native English. I'm only fluent in English so i don't use any particular language for any particular scenario.
Uu, my friend speaks some Norwegian
My daughter, native German, fluent native-like English, and living in the Netherlands, usually communicates with a wild mix of English and German, and now starts throwing in occasional Dutch words.
Code-switching comes naturally. It's not even thought of as mixing languages since most people here know at least two languages, or even three. Tagalog and English are sometimes mixed, like:
But with the languages I am learning? Not really, unless I slip up, like when trying to show off: "¡Cuidade! Il ya un perro." I am not even learning Spanish.
Estoy aprendiendo espanol, y cuando no recuerdo una palabra o frase en espanol, I will just use English instead. No estoy seguro si esto is the same :P
kinda in my opinion. ¿en que nivel estas?
Mas or menos B1 cuando escribiendo y A2 cuando escuchando hispohablantes nativos
