Nope, it means what it says. 8D; Two situations here that are weird under these circumstances:
1) Someone's main language is, say, Japanese. Someone else's main language is English, but they have Japanese as a second language. If that English-speaker started consciously speaking to the Japanese speaker in Japanese, the English-speaker, who normally perceives everyone as speaking English, would start perceiving the Japanese-speaker as responding in Japanese. Once the English-speaker started speaking to them in English again, though, the Japanese-speaker's Japanese would start sounding like English again.
2) Like in the example you mentioned, someone with Spanish as a main language would be perceived as always speaking English by someone who has English as a main language, yeah? However, if that English-speaker comes across someone speaking Spanish as a second language to the person who has Spanish as a main language, both parties would sound like they were speaking Spanish to the English-speaker.
...Of course, as confusing as that last situation is, I doubt it'd come up very often, seeing how it's only practical if two characters are puposely trying to keep information to themselves.
Ahhh, hope that makes sense. D8;; I really wish all of this didn't have to be so complicated and that I'd explained it better but ahhh big RP with lots of possibilities. DDDDX This seemed like the course that was best for both easy character communication and giving characters the ability to keep information amongst themselves without alienating non-canonmates too much?
