When it's obvious perhaps, but surely not as a rule. I would certainly challenge you to know when I'm using my native tongue and when I'm not. (assuming you don't know my nationality of course). On a different note - perhaps it would have been proper to say "I speak eight languages" rather than "I can speak in 8 languages"? /Per Jessen, Zürich who's only fluent in three languages, but "can speak in 7 or 8".
