Perfect example is here in Ireland...loads of people can't actually speak Irish (our constitutional language). I went to secondary school (12 - 18) through Irish so I speak it fluently but you end up speaking a weird hybrid which is called 'Bearlachais' - roughly translating as Englishish.
It's even quite common on the official Irish language television channel to mishmash English and Irish, chiefly owing to the fact that Irish is really old and doesn't have a translation for stuff like 'speed-dating'.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
