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.

Nilo · Answer

Switch between languages with every sentence to confuse everyone around.

Tedman · Answer

Both, switch them up when necessary for clarity.
