You know you've been assimilated when you start dreaming in a different language! I was quite amused the first time it happened to me.
As an anglophone who learned Quebec french as an adult, I found myself often switching formats mid-sentence. Here in the Montreal region, the un-official street lingo uses many english words.

Ken,

I do the same thing as your brother, I can speak German and French and I when I use either one the grey matter runs in those
languages.

When I was based in Paris I went to see my relatives in Bavaria. Every so often when I'd be conversing with my relatives they would
get a funny look on their faces and I couldn't figure out why.

Finally one evening my cousin asked me; "why are you speaking French to us?"

I realized that the grey matter was thinking if German but when the words didn't come in German; French overrode English!

Regards,
Rob M.

My brother speaks 7 languages. He says the trick is to think in the language you are using at the time. When he lived in Germany
and I called him on the phone, in the middle of the English conversation he would switch to German without realizing it. When he
lived in Iran he would switch to Farsi on the phone with me without realizing it.
