When you work with two or more languages, you can’t help but make connections between them. Most of the time, these connections are great because they will help you bring a message from one language into another in a more natural way. Other times, it may turn you off to some words you may look at negatively because you’re being influenced by your other languages. Or maybe you grow fond of a word or expression because of a good memory you’ve attached to it.

I’m not really talking about false friends here―that is, when words look similar in two languages and have completely different meanings. No, I’m talking about the emotional charge you may apply to a word or expression that either makes you want to use it or avoid it.
