How do you handle 'Taglish' during your first conversation with a native speaker?

I’ve been studying Tagalog for six months, but I’m terrified for my first conversation next week. Every time I try to practice, I end up code-switching mid-sentence because I forget the Tagalog term for common objects. Is it better to force myself to stay in Tagalog, or should I just embrace the code-switching to keep the flow going?
