The worst part for me is mixing sayings and the construction of sentences. I've never been that good at English grammar, but after using English more and more, my grammar in my native language have gotten worse. I'm half way in a sentence, in my native language, before I notice I've started on an English saying, but directly translated to my native language and it makes no sense. But, there's no cow on the ice, as you say, because my wife and I are like pots and pans, as you also say; we are the same way.

All the fucking time. Now I'm at this phase of learning my third language, where it starts to sip in. I can't sprechen normally anymore, send help пожалуйста.

All. The. Time.

I'm not a very good speaker despite how well I write English (I just sound stiff and sometimes I just freeze up when I forget a word), but I know it better than my native language. Once I wanted to describe deer in a phone call, but I forgot what the word was in the native language... Cue me being clueless for a good few minutes before I figured it out.

Yes it happens, especially when you speak 3 languages. A year ago, I was mixing 2 languages by mistake and people where like "what???". Lol

I'm only fluent in English, but I know fragments of many different languages. I get jumbled sometimes, and it's weird. When I'm in a lot of pain, I tend to speak or think in German, for example. This is unfortunate, given that I don't actually know much German. I often slip into French when speaking or thinking about time — for this reason, the vast majority of my friends have learned that "Quelle here est-il?" means "what time is it?" due to how many times I've accidentally asked that question in French

You can also have a cup of tea.

Holy shit, i thought that only happen to me, the worst part it when is an "easy" word

I totally mistook that lightbulb in the background for a bowling pin for some reason on first glance.

English is my native language. I have on more than one occasion gone blank trying to think of a word, only to remember it in Japanese. Which is particularly amusing when it's the kana-ised version of the English word I had forgotten.

Spanglish much? Parlais Franglais? Denglisch sprechen?

Yes, especially with tech-words. Hell, I even don't know what for example "exploit" means in my native language.

Yes and I got teased about it mercilessly for weeks after. All in good fun.

I speak three languages and whenever I'm with someone that speaks the same languages, I'll revert to a mix of grammar and vocabulary that covers all three languages. I'll continuously pick the next word in the language that comes to mind first and I can literally switch language 5-10 times in a single sentence

Everyone hearing me talk in moments like that thinks I'm insane, but it works perfectly

ever since my brain got hard-wired to think in English despite it not being my native language.
