I spent most of my grade school in Japan, in English speaking schools, but I saw this a lot. Some children would switch back and forth from English to Japanese schools, and they would use the oddest combination of the two languages. By 5 grade or so most of they had it figured out. It will be quicker with French, Japanese was a very odd language to incorporate.

And three different alphabets, according to the subject and formality. Kanji is the most common, the most informal and the simplest with only 35 (36?) characters, and it is actually Chinese in origin. They still use it in China! The more formal alphabets have over 500 characters and are used in government and business. Plus the grammar system is totally different, sentences go on forever, certain characters have the same sound but are used differently according to subject and formality... People say English is hard to learn, but I am blown away by Japanese!
