I only ask because my Spanish AS lecture once told me that you know your fluent when you dream in that language.


I never did.
Neither do I. I'm not really fleunt in any language other than English but I can sort of hold my own-ish in Spanish and to a slightyl lesser extent German and to a lesser extent still I've picked up some French and Polish.
 
My thoughts are in English, but those are pretty much mostly the things I could say out loud but decide not to, or self talk. A lot of my thoughts aren't necessarily in any language, more like they're abstract, somtimes with maybe a few words thrown about that don't come together and make sentences, hence my sometimes hard to understand paragraphs.

Like that one? No, but I do get what you're saying. Instead of making a sentence in my head I'll form a picture of what I'm thinking about.
 
both my parents are vietnamese but i was born here in us, i almost forgot how to speak my language, i can only speak little but i understand a lot. i think in english now, i used to think in vietnamese when i was a little child.

That's actually really interesting.

I sometimes think in strine (Australian slang english), because a couple of my closest internet-buddies are Aussies. I've really picked up a lot of words talking to them that my friends have never heard of, and it's rubbing off on them too.

Other times I think in German, because it's such a great language to express frustration in. Scheiße!
 
English generally, or in numbers & logical operators if I've been working on something mathy for awhile.
 
I normally think in Portuguese, but I also think in English (mainly music lyrics and some sentences)


Italiano
English, when i write here
Brazileiro, ás vezes
Español, muy poco
Brazilian is not a language, Portuguese is. It is like the U.K. English and U.S. English. You can say Brazilian Portuguese though, but never Brazilian (only).

Desculpe pela imprecisão. Era subentendido :)
Sorry for the inaccuracy. It was implied.
