I'm a native English speaker but I'm all right in Spanish. I can have a decent conversation in Spanish but I'm not fluent. My family is Hispanic, so I regularly use Spanish in some way.

Interesting! While you aren't fluent, can comprehend it fluently?

I'm a native English speaker as well, and I've observed some of my Hispanic friends can't speak Spanish but comprehend it fully to the point that their family will switch between English and Spanish mid-sentence when talking to each other. Do you experience this as well?

I understand Spanish pretty well and I do sometimes switch from Spanish to English to Spanish but most of the time, I stay in Spanish.
