Ah, I like this excerpt! That is a good method, I shall take notes.
Hmm, that also reminds me, another thing I find interesting is when someone speaks two languages not as strongly as their native tongue. When I was working in Manila, there was this American colleague who flew in from Indonesia, she had a functional knowledge of Indonesian and was learning Tagalog. But she would often end up speaking in Indonesian when she meant to speak in Tagalog because it's the same part of her brain trying to do this thing and habit makes her fall back on what she was more familiar with. That's another thing I want to play around with in fic, I think.
