Guest Arodwen Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I think mostly in English because to survive in America, you must know English and since the typical US citizen only speaks English, I've completely immersed myself in the English language. When I go to Chinese websites, watch Chinese dramas, or read anything in Chinese, I think in Mandarin but the thoughts (if spoken out loud) sometimes are translated into English xD Lastly, when I'm speaking with my parents and other Fuzhou immigrants/dialect speakers, I think and speak in Fuzhounese. Every now and then, I get the odd thought in German. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarplum892 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I actually think in a combo of 3 different languages XD English, Cantonese and Mandarin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sarah.A Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 When I make fun of others I use English, and when I'm being serious I use my mother tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lucky.clover Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Depends really. Someitmes I think in cantonese while other times I think in english. It gets funny when I'm thinking in cantonese and talking with my english speaking friends because I'm always on the verge of saying what's in my head. One day I'll mess up and I'll have a slip of tongue XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xaniks Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I, too, also think in English. I think the majority of people that speaks English also do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest baehyun Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 this is a really interesting idea, I remember someone asking me a similar question a while back about what language you dream in. (What language do you guys dream in?) I usually think in English(shocker) but I grew up sort of multilingual until I went to school so some choice words of phrases kinda pop up in Korean or Japanese. Like I always think of goldfish as kingyo or want as wonhae before I think of them in English. When I'm judging someone it all turns to Korean really quickly tho ^^;;; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest randompanda91 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Almost always in English if not Khmer (Cambodian language). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wingedbunny Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Most of the time i just think in dutch. I was born and raised in the Netherlands so when it comes to things like preparing food or subjects in school like maths or explaining how to do a certain action it would be easier to think in dutch because i was taught these things in dutch. However I'm much better at conveying my feelings in English. It just seems like there are more words to explain the way i feel about something.

*.:AnGeL*BAbII:.* Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm pretty sure I think in English... unless I'm imagining a scenario with my parents in it, then I would probably be thinking in Cantonese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5880 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I was born in China, but I pretty much grew up in the US. As a result, the voices in my head are both Mandarin and English. It's funny really, sometimes I argue with myself in mind with one language as one side, and I wonder, "Is this what schizophrenics hear?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bnz38 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 When I'm around English speaking people I think half in Japanese half in English. It's all mixed up. Otherwise it's all Japanese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
