Question

Gunsel · Accepted Answer

In my experiences (English/Spanish), we end up speaking mostly Spanish with random sentences in English thrown into the mix. Sometimes, the other person will speak fully in Spanish and I speak fully in English. It really depends, but there is usually a lot of overlap.

Felicio · Answer

I have two friends who do this in Norwegian and German. They each speak their native tongue to the other

Friederike · Answer

Either one would be fine. Native Polish and C2 English, so it works with both.

Nilo · Answer

Switch between languages with every sentence to confuse everyone around.

Tedman · Answer

Both, switch them up when necessary for clarity.
