I like to use code-switching as a way to get someone’s attention, especially by adjusting my tone or changing my speaking style. Changing the way I speak allows me to interact more effectively with different people and situations. For example, when I want to emphasize a point or show enthusiasm, I can use a more expressive tone. This change helps me connect better with my loved ones, and I find it interesting and dynamic.

Code-switching is also helpful when I want to share something privately or subtly by adjusting my language or speaking style. A great example would be talking to a bilingual friend who speaks English and Spanish, and during the conversation we use words from both languages. This skill can help me navigate different social settings seamlessly, allowing me to adapt my speech to fit each situation and connect with people in a way that feels natural and effective.
