I have the same with other languages. One thing that I find fascinating is that while all the western TTS and language understanding frameworks allow only one at the time. The Chinese ones happily do Chinese and English at the same time. I recently tried out the open source android TTS engines and they don't seem all that great even though there's been years of development on them. Can anyone that knows comment on what the complexity here is?

As a native Japanese and sort-of English speaker, I need to pause flush audio pipeline to switch between languages. Konnichiwa spoken in the middle of an English sentence and こんにちは in native Japanese, are separate expressions and have to be pronounced differently. From my experience there likely isn't a single unified language model inside a human head, and if so it's not a surprise to me that one cannot be effortlessly made for computers.
