I just want to know how the brain is so capable of sorting the languages into different "angles" as you put them. That you can never get confused between the two languages, not a single word out of place. I can be pretty scatterbrained sometimes and get confused with things and I forget a LOT of stuff. But if I hear a word in another language I know, I never confuse it for English. Heck sometimes I can even hear a word from another language I don't know but somehow it still FEELS like a word from that language.

That's what I want to know is HOW do you never forget which language a word belongs to? How does the brain do that?

But when you're translating your thoughts into words do you ever accidentally use the word from the wrong language in the middle of a sentence?

But people who are bilingual or trilingual don't suddenly start speaking Spanglish to English-only speakers or mixing three languages into one. You aren't just learning synonyms because otherwise you'd start getting confused about which words are English and which are Spanish, or whatever other language.

Of all the bilingual people I've talked to, they never really say a word from another language in an English sentence randomly or on accident. But many many times they have stopped midsentence because they can't think of the word in English, even though they know it in their native language.
