My vote: Use Japanese only for honorifics (if you use them) and
untranslatable words.  Basically, Japanese words tend to say "I'm saying
ti this way to confuse people and show that I know more Japanese than
you."

Or it has some sort of use- ie, it's a distinctive way people speak,
something like that.. 

And I have no idea what a "itadakimasu" is.

itadakimasu is what Japanese people say before they eat- as my teacher told
me, the quicky equivalent of grace without any kind of real meaning ^_^
