Today I found myself mixing up languages. I'm in an area with lots of #Chinese people and Chinese stores in #Melbourne, #Australia. I asked someone in a bakery 什么时候关门 meaning what time do you close. Afterwards I said gracias. Do any of you mix up #languages? #langtwt

Last time I was in Paris I was next to a floating bar on one of the canals when a passer by asked me “c’est un restaurant?” - I automatically replied with 我不知道。
