One of my former French colleagues was concerned that speaking in another language all the time (here English and Danish) would completely change her personality, here identity even.

I think the French language is regarded culturally as intrinsic to their identity (hence the Institute Fancaise to maintain standards), even though, like all others, its evolving and we still recognise them! I know I think differently in another language, but consider the person thinking unchanged, hence untranslatable moments in both directions and occasional otherwise unlikely insights?

Yes, they will not be able to completely avoide foreign words in their language. I am sure, if researching, one would find many from medieval times.
I can recognize that from myself, thinking differently in another language. I also experience that in one language I can express certain things better than in others.
I shared office with a lady from Argentina for some time. We spoke English about work matters, Danish when talking about our families, and German when discussing religion (she was Jewish) and philosophy. (My Spanish wasn’t good enough.)
