Jane asks: "What's it like having so many languages in your head?"

Episode Summary:

• Mostly, I focus on learning only one language at a time
• To that extent, I don't have much confusion in the learning process
• In daily life, I find that languages come and go, depending on who I'm spending time with, what I'm doing, what words I need
• My default is English
• When I hear other languages, my brain usually switches immediately into that "zone". With a few mins of speaking, I'm comfortable
  • Brazilians in the park
  • Spanish people blocking the door
  • Takeshi in the street
  • Chatting with my Cantonese friend
• Sometimes words in other languages pop up inadvertently, without me realising it
• Remember, it's more normal than not to be multilingual
