The best examples that come to mind are when ordering food. As examples:

• You speak English and Spanish and are ordering a burrito
• You speak Thai and English and are ordering Tom Yum

I imagine it could depend on numerous things:
• You primary language or ethnicity
• What sort of restaurant
• Who you’re dining with
• Who you’re ordering from
• and probably a lot more…

    “Trainer” probably would work just fine in US English but I can see what it wouldn’t with British English. Of course that only makes things more complicated…

    “Handy” definitely does not work in U.S. English especially using it as a noun
