The closest thing I've encountered in real life to a person speaking like that has been weebs putting inserting Japanese words into English sentences, which... we do not have time to unpack completely. But even then, they're doing it as part of a subculture in which those words are understood. Marius is just one guy mixing in foreign words that literally none of the people around him use.

I don't mean to say that people don't mix languages. Obviously we do. Spanglish, for example, is pretty widespread. But Spanglish tends to happen in communities where an English speaking culture has influenced Spanish speakers or vice versa, and where there are a lot of people who speak both English and Spanish.
