Well, we all had gotten fairly good at Arabic over the years. When we had to go to West Africa we had to take a French class. I truely felt sorry for the teacher.
Anyway, about in the middle of the course one of the guys is struggling through a sentence. He completes it and we all understand and nod, then look at the teacher. She has a real odd look on her face and goes "What did you say?" It was only then that we realized he had switched to Arabic in the middle of the sentence.
If you're only good at one it tends to "pop out" when words fail you in the other.
