Franglais: when languages collide (quand les langues se
heurtent)
A lot of the time, when people are around others that speak
the same languages as them, they tend to mix languages together. Personally, on
more than one occasion I’ve caught myself wanting to mix up French and English
together in the same sentence. Sometimes, but very rarely, I’ll throw in a word
of Spanish or German as well. Now that some of my international friends are
attempting to teach me Arabic, I will go out of my way to figure out a sentence
into which I can put something they’ve taught me.
An example: j’ai
noticed that quand je parle
avec my friends qui speak another langue qui est la même que la mienne,
I tend to mix up the languages dans la
same phrase.
(I’ve noticed that
when I speak with my friends who speak another language that is the same as
mine, I tend to mix up the languages in the same sentence.)
