When you're having a conversation in English (which is your co-native language) but somehow you're actually translating from Esperanto in your head.
When you spend your lunch time thinking about the ratio of romance to germanic vocabulary in Esperanto, and just how weird a greeting 'bonan tagon' is, because it incorporates both romance and germanic roots.
(ok, maybe I'm just an Esperanto nerd who pretends to be interested in other languages)
