21. When I'm with Spanish speakers.....

I just speak Spanish 😁

It helps that I have lived and gone to school in Spain, even if it was in a part of Spain where “Spanish” (they call it “Castilian,” since it’s not the only language spoken in Spain) was understood, but not the main language. In the Americas, they recognize my “continental/peninsular” accent right away, but they understand it just like most Anglo-Americans understand most Brits with little to no difficulty.
