My mother tongue is Filipino. English is a second language for me. I could read write and speak fluently with it. Nihonggo could be my third if I practice a bit more.

My mother tongue is Italian,
i am currently learning Nihongo, and i can speak fluent English and Spanish, i can easily understand and speak the basic of Portuguese.
Problem with languages is that if you don't keep practicing you soon forget them, for instance even though my first language is Italian i am really rusty when it comes to speak it, when i think up for a word in Italian it comes first in English.
Also it is very hard to switch from one to the other, in example, if i am speaking with Spanish friends, and then suddenly i need to say something to my girlfriend (she is bilingual, Japanese + English) i speak to her straight in Spanish, and often i receive back a surprised look and than is when i realize i have spoke Spanish to her.
Does anyone else finds hard, sometime, to switch between the languages they can speak ?
