you know, i spent years mocking the idea that characters would slip into their native tongue in the middle of speaking in english, but as someone whose native tongue isn't english that is currently practicing their spoken english for a job interview (went through a layoff the beginning of this month D:) i find myself doing exactly that? and you know what's worse???

i dont notice it!!!! i will go english english english random portuguese word english english aND NOT NOTICE IT.
