Although I communicate textually in English pretty much every day, all day, and do still tend to think that language, in the six years since I was last in the UK, significant opportunities to speak English, at least with other native speakers, have dried up a bit...and when they do occur — such as in Belize last September — the conversation typically commences for me with a worrying sensation of impending jaw malfunction.

My wife only speaks to my grandchildren in Spanish, their parents and grandparents find the resulting mixture of speech interesting.
I do drop into Spanglish occasionally. Not a problem in Belize of course.
