Instead try…

Sometimes bilingual peeps shuffle phrases while we think things through, just in case that language’s patterns trigger the right word or idea we want to use. But “turning off” language? Nah…

“Do you have a liga? You know, a… The fucking… the liga. The liga, that… El deste, para tu cabello. The hair… tie. Shit.”

My personal favourite is when you do this shit and then realise that the word you’re after is actually a cognate, so not only do you feel dumb for not remembering it, but you could have just said the word in your first language and they probably would have understood you.
