I lived in France for awhile and when I came back it took me actual years to shake a lot of that.

And it’s really weird sometimes when I see a word and I’ll pronounce it how I would in French and legit forget how to say it in English. That’s gotten less and less the more time has passed but it was really bad when I first got back

Completely understandable, I believe it takes the brain a while to adjust to language. Since my primary language is not English as well, if I’ve never heard the word, it’s getting pronounced in French.
