>>12982334Grew up bilingual (Tagalog and English) and studied Japanese to an intermediate level (could have pretty long conversations after living in Japan for a few months). I find that some things will just be easier to express in a particular language, and my brain/mouth will default to whichever is easiest.
After living in Japan for a while, I was having retrieval issues with Tagalog; when I'd meet a Filipino and try to speak in Tagalog, only Japanese would come out no matter how hard I'd try to find the words.
