This phenomenon, I suppose, is a matter of being thoroughly, and equally,
comfortable with both languages.
When I was a teen I knew a diplomat's family. They were stationed in
Bangkok, Thailand, and attended the International School there. The
daughter had a French teacher who was fluent in both French and Thai. She
related that the students in her French class used to enjoy slipping the
occasional Thai word into their recitations without the teacher being
aware of it in any way.
