Sometimes with some friends we do this deliberately. I get to use my Japanese....... and they get to use their English. If we don't understand something, we can each correct it. "
Best of both worlds", so to speak.
A long time ago I was in an international artist's program in Japan and met a Korean Buddhist monk who was there to give a presentation. He spoke no English. I spoke no Korean. But both of us spoke a little bit of Japanese. So that is how we (barely) conversed. A rather fun experience.
best,
