When English people in the 13th century spoke the word hotel they might be code switching between English and Old French (but that's debatable because it seems this word ultimately has a Latin root)

However this word is part of the English lexicon today and require no knowledge of French, and as such isn't an example of code switching

In order to use and understand the word kindergarten I need to understand and speak at least one German word. That's knowledge of German, even if it's a tiny bit of knowledge. The fact that some English speakers aren't aware of their knowledge of German doesn't make kindergarten no longer a German word.
