I am from Germany and I speak more German than English. At work I have to talk and to write in English of about 80% of my work.
I also read English books in my freetime. I think it is great to know another language.
In Germany we have many English word included in our language... especially in commercials.. It is nearly normal to have many English words in our German language.
just me
Yes, I tend to speak English more than Tagalog. That's because I'm the only person at work who speaks Tagalog and the people I hang around with can't and don't speak the language.

Exactly the same amount.
My husband probably speaks English more than his mother tongue (French) and in some contexts speaks it better than his mother tongue.

I do all the time. I am half Tamil and half Sinhalese. My dad is Tamil.
I speak more English than the above two languages. At home and at my workplace.
