Fighting that is a lost battle, I think. Those short instinctive words will always come out at the wrong time, that's inevitable. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

In my opinion the easyness with which you switch between languages depends on which language you use more often.I have been using russian a lot lately and russian words tend to pop up even when I speak in English.

Once in a while I use a word in the wrong language, but it is not something I'm too worried about - the better you learn you languages the less 'holes' there will be where a foreign word can pop up.
I like Cainntear's idea about different 'faces' for different languages. There is no doubt that different languages with different sounds also use our muscles in different ways. The problem is that some 'cuckoo words' sound entirely convincing, - the only problem is that they aren't used by native speakers. And identifying the words that aren't used can be more difficult than learning a few thousand words that are used.
