Also the code-switching between talking to Americans and talking to New Zealanders. But trying not to talk so Kiwi that I come across as putting on an act. When in fact I just pick up new words and new dialects fast and somewhat unconsciously.

(As an immigrant whose been in Aotearoa for nearly two decades)

Just a few things I think about when I try to communicate with other humans.

👦Iiiiima! Kann ich mich mit [Freundesname] verabreden! Er hat seinen neuen GamingPC.

👩Mashallah! hat er nicht letztes Jahr einen neuen bekommen? Wieviele PCs brauch man denn so mit 15?

👦Now that you mention it, darüber wollte ich noch mit Euch reden. Er will seinen alten verkaufen. asking price is only 500 Euros. That‘s practically a steal.

👨Verabreden, ken! Aber neuer PC: I don‘t think that’s in your near future!

👩Yalla, Schatzis! Wir müssen! On-y va!

V. A. Young (2009) argued against #codeswitching for non-White #US #students (i.e., learning #academic #language and using that in #school rather than their home variety) and for "code meshing" (i.e., blending both varieties in formal contexts), but his own article contained nothing that I would consider non-standard for academic writing other than contractions (e.g., "don't") that are perfectly typical even in the Associated Press.
