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, whenever I'm trying to say something in Chinese, I'm always thinking in Spanish and get them mixed up.
