Andre Roman · Answer 1

Answer: Code switching.

Explanation:

In linguistics, if someone changes languages, or applies language varieties, during the same conversation, is considered code-switching or language alternation. Multilingual people are those who speak more than one language, and it's usual for them to seldom use parts of different languages when talking to each other.

Sophia Archer · Answer 2

Code-switching, but this is mainly for people who are fluent in both of the languages.
