for all the bilinguals Options

[*Weird addiction*]

This is a thread mainly for bilinguals. Does it get annoying when you mix up languages? I swear, i do it often...too often.

I speak English and i study in french at school. I'm currently learning dutch being it's the 2nd official language in Belgium. And i'm pretty good at it.

I tend to mix these 3 languages A LOT. It gets frustrating sometimes. I was talking to my dad on the phone, asking for money (he speaks only english and dutch), i was like:
i need vingt euros.
He was like "wtf?" haha. Or sometimes when he's talking to me, he says "de dingen" meaning "the thing" in dutch. I usually say "alors" instead of "so". Pff. I speak french to my friends but sometimes english comes out of my mouth. It's soo frustrating. Even to my teacher...i was like "i've got a question" and she's like "tu viens de dire quoi?" Lol. My nose was red...my nose hardly gets red since i'm more black than white.
It happens a lot. Some people think it's cute. .

But it's got it's advantage...i insult ppl sometimes, haha. Few months ago, after having sex with my boyfriend, i was like "tu crains au lit"...he thought it was a compliment...i'm not going to translate...but he did "craint".

Anyways, does this happen to you guys too?? I have to watch what i say almost everytime

well..i actually have to mix up languages when i speak w/ my grandfather/uncles b/c they speak at least 5 languages
spanish, mandarin, taiwanese, japanese, french so when i speak to them and i dont know the word in one language ill switch to another language..i find this more of an advantage

but yeah..i guess its embarassing when another language accidentally slips when ur speaking english..it only happened to me wen i was littler but it happens to my mom all the time..and i used to be embarrassed for her..o.O
