I find this very interesting, mainly because I see similar effects when I'm using a foreign language :)
For a long time, I felt that speaking in a certain language forces me to "shift" my language brain to a degree. German is my mother tongue, but I have trouble pronouncing e.g. German names correctly within an English sentence. The opposite - English words in German context - isn't really a problem, although that might be the product of modern German adopting more and more English words into the common vocabulary.
I also recall having trouble with the German-style "R" in a french context.
As a side note, I do hope they won't butcher all those English words in the future like they did the French ones :-/
