The best examples that come to mind are when ordering food. As examples:

• You speak English and Spanish and are ordering a burrito
• You speak Thai and English and are ordering Tom Yum

I imagine it could depend on numerous things:
• You primary language or ethnicity
• What sort of restaurant
• Who you’re dining with
• Who you’re ordering from
• and probably a lot more…

    Interesting. When I’m speaking French I often pronounce English words with a French accent. I don’t enjoy switching accents mid sentence, and I find that people who only speak French understand me better this way.
