anyone speak 2 languages?

Question

ok...for anyone who speaks 2 languages, lets say spanish or whatever and english, what language do you think in?

Answer 1

I speak English, German, Japanese and some Spanish. I think in English and Japanese and German.

Answer 2

Spanish, French and English. I think and speak mainly in English. However, there are some words and phrases in each language that come to my mind faster than in English, so I use them a lot instead. People that know me understand what I mean. I also have dreams in all three of the languages, it depends on which language I am using most at the time as to what the dream will be in. I have no explanation for this. I just attribute it to being me.

There are some words in English that I find I have forgotten but know it in one of my other languages. Weird.

Answer 3

I speak Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and some Klingon :)
My thoughts are straight in the language I'm using in that moment, especially when talking live to another person.

Answer 4

I speak English and Spanish...and most of the time i think in English.

Answer 5

I speak Spanish, English and French plus a smattering of a few others. I think in English most of the time.

Answer 6

I speak 8 languages. If I am among English speaking people, I think in English. If I am among Indonesians, I think in Indonesian.
In China I think mostly in Chinese. But if I speak in places of multicultural society, I usually have to shift from one language to the other, or involuntarily have a transition from one to the other which I seldom noticed.

And frankly speaking, sometimes I made a mistake in answering people in another language that he did not understand and became hilarious and a bit embarrasing, but most of the time
full of fun.

For instance, I was walking with my younger brother once, who kept on teasing me. I shouted to him in our mother tongue, which is Sundanese: "Ulah!" meaning "Don't do it!" But it sound like "Ular" which means "snake" in Indonesian. A lot of ladies became panicky and screamed and looked around wildly.

Answer 7

I speak English and Amharic and thin in both.
mostly i think in English since I'm here and sometimes in my own language. lets say it depends on what u r think about.


u don't really think or care which one "you think in" until the question comes up! i don't remember but someone asked me the same question before. its only hard when you speak cause sometimes both come up the same time.
