Can you describe an example of when you have code-switched yourself? (EVERYONE code-switches at some point – for example, if you speak another language; if you’re struggling with this,).

Do you think that you can be an effective communicator without code-switching? Have you ever judged another person for not code-switching to meet the needs of the context?

Does code-switching make you any less of “yourself” if you’re doing it to fit in? Example: are you being fake?
