Code switching is normal. When I was first starting to learn Spanish I'd, without realizing sometimes, used French, which I had learned in high school. When I'm talking to someone who is hard of hearing/mostly knows a language I don't I'll often use some simple sign language to help get my point across. My patient might not have understood what I meant if I was babbling about a drink cart, but if I asked if she wanted a drink and used the sign for drink she knew what I meant. When I was trying to explain a world in English to a classmate for whom English was her fifth language and when she didn't understand the medical term and several words in slang I used a Polish word I learned at work and she knew what I was saying. So I think it depends on the situations?

It also I think depends on the character and how it is used. Kurt from the X-men, yes he speaks English, but if he's startled he say something in German. Jean-Paul and Jeanne-Marie from Alpha Flight will talk to their team in English, but occasionally use French with each other. In some context and for some character it makes sense. Antonio from Power Rangers Samurai would occasionally use Spanish words and while I can see how to some it might have been anyone, the character was generally so enthusiastic about everything that he just came off as adorable.
