If you are constantly thinking about your own response so that you can state what you wish over listening to your colleague\s\boss then they may think that you are not engaged in the conversation and makes them not feel heard. During conversations listen to the other person before making up your own response to be more active in conversation which will create a better bond as the other person feels heard and respected.

Effects on Children

2023-12-08 12:12:44 UTC

"Language mixing is common in bilingual children’s learning environments. Here, we investigated effects of language mixing on children’s learning of new words. During the learning phase, children correctly identified novel targets when hearing both single-language and mixed-language sentences. However, at test, French–English bilinguals did not successfully recognize the word encountered in mixed-language sentences. This research suggests that language mixing may sometimes hinder children’s encoding of novel words that occur downstream, but leaves open several possible underlying mechanisms." - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
