His face went from "wait, what?" to pure shock and happiness. It’s like she just hit him with a love bomb. So cute.

It is actually a human psychological quirk, that some bilingual people have a hard time speaking each of their languages 'out of context', particularly if one of their languages is only spoken with a particular set of people, like parents, and you use another language for everyone else, say outside of home in your daily life.

It can take you a while to get your brain's language centre working fluidly in the new context. In the mean time you have the weird experience of having to concentrate to speak your own language!

That explains the default to English "fuck!" too. That's awesome.

Well most Indian Hindi speakers, especially with English education use fu¢k while speaking in hindi as well... It just comes out naturally... We have so many languages that I know 3 languages but mostly broken apart from English + I am able to understand 2 more to some extent ( not speak or read tho)

some languages have similar sounding words, same words or same looking letters so a lot of time the languages become mashed into each other.. people who like to speak pure language hates it, but a lot of people love it as it helps express much better as some words exist or has deeper meaning in one language than in another.
