For a few years I dated a girl (translator) that spoke several languages fluently. She would talk with her father on the phone and sort of regress to the age/personality she had when she primarily spoke that language.
In English she was a young professional. In Italian she was a teenage girl. In Maltese she was a much younger child. I still wonder if they had a richer communication by going through the languages like that. It was so abrupt and obvious that I loved to sit and listen.
