Hah, that's happened to me even though I was raised monolingual. :) I think it's a common experience for anyone who's studied 2+ foreign languages.I found learning a third language at school tougher than I should have, because my brain would often switch into my 'default other language', Russian. This resulted in some awkward moments during spoken exams, where I would respond in Russian when questioned in French.
Yeah, when I got back from a trip to Japan it was nearly impossible to think of anything in Spanish or French because the Japanese would immediately come to mind. My Latin was still solid though; maybe it acts as a different category since it's all written.
