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 ![]() |

hmm not really..only to my grandma..hha i tend to forget many words in chinese because well i can underatnd it well, but not speak it.so when i talk to her,i use chinese words that i know and mix it up with english.and she kind of understands but if she doesnt, i give up and ask my cousins if their there to help me.
chinese,english,and a lil french from school..but mostly english. andandandand...sometimes i know words in chinese that i tend to forget the word in english..like one time in 5th grade i think,my teacher asked what i had for dinner,so i said chinese food, and he said what kind, and i forgot the words in english for it, and i said to him 'i dont know how to say it in english' because i had forgotten the word.it was brocolli.. ;x so i told him vegetable. it happens sometimes ![]() |
