The best examples that come to mind are when ordering food. As examples:

• You speak English and Spanish and are ordering a burrito
• You speak Thai and English and are ordering Tom Yum

I imagine it could depend on numerous things:
• You primary language or ethnicity
• What sort of restaurant
• Who you’re dining with
• Who you’re ordering from
• and probably a lot more…

    Depends who I am talking with. I use the pronunciation of my interlocutors language even if it sounds wrong in it’s original language. Mainly because it’s fun to speak like a weird movie accent.

    So if I am with a Mexican I will say “Burrito.”

    And if I am with an English speaker I will say “Beau- rhee -toe!”
