I don't know if I'm the best candidate to answer this (I learned English and Spanish essentially simultaneously) but I'll give it a shot.

A lot of words come out butchered, but that's to be expected I suppose. The phrase "stop it right now" would come out sounding like "estohp eet ryet naow." As for short hand like the "ching chong" example, I've never really come across that right.
