And I freaking love the Irish accent.

It's just sometimes I have a problem realising that a person is speaking to me on english, because I speak few languages fluent without accent, and I simply start answering in the language that's first on my mind.
Sometimes it's funny but in most cases people are like wtf.

I know what you mean. Well, I only speak Swedish fluently, but my brother said something to me once in English, and I replied in Swedish. Probably because I was having a heated conversation with a Swedish penpal on MSN at the time.
