Whenever I study or do work in a language, I usually wait an hour or two before I do work in another. This was to prevent mixing up languages, forgetting vocab, etc.

But I was wondering that if you were to already be comfortable in your languages, would doing work in one right after the other help in developing quicker switching between languages?

If I were to watch a show in French then I do L/R in Spanish, sometimes it takes awhile for the Spanish to register. But if I were to keep doing that, would that simulate code-switching? Maybe watch a show in French, then right after watch a show in Spanish, then after that talk to someone in Italian, and so forth.

In my case, practicing switching per se doesn't appear to have any affect. Getting better at the individual languages does.
