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 |

I mix English, Malay, Mandarin and Cantonese up all the time. But this is common for every Malaysian.

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

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