what language do you think in?

Since my primary language is English, my default 'thinking' language is English, though given the types of books I like to read the variant tends to be older than common American-English.

 

If I have to think with words I think in English, but otherwise I just use images, somehow

 

I only speak English, so it makes sense that I think in it. I think it would be amazing to be able to think in more than one language

 

I only speak and think in english ;_;

 

I think in Dutch, English and in Pictures!

 

I guess if we’re counting pictures as a language now, I do that too xD
But anyway, because I interact in English so much on a daily basis, I now think mostly in English rather than Dutch, which is my first language. It’s like 60-40 but yeah, mostly English xD

 

Klingon. Occasionally. Usually when I'm half-asleep.

English otherwise. Even when I was studying French in school I thought in English...probably why I was never any good at French. xD

 

Only French for most of my life, as it’s my native language, so I have a lot of vocabulary. But now that I speak better English, I started thinking in English.

 

I only speak English fluently, though I used to speak intermediate Spanish, French, and Latin; so English is my de facto language of thought. The thing is though, my thoughts are very verbal, I rarely think without mentally audible words. Which makes me wonder... does anyone here know (firsthand or otherwise) how Deaf self-perceive thoughts? It's so difficult for me to grasp since I'm so verbal.

 

I only speak English, so my thoughts are in English. u.u

 

I think in picture mostly but when I do think in words It's usually in english because I only know snippits of other languages.

 

I usually thing in English and Spanish.

 

You stated my thoughts so eloquently that I will not even bother to repeat them.

On the whole image-thought thing, my mind operates very much like a computer or machine, so my thoughts will take the form of logical chains or connections, as I attempt to layer or construct everything together. Sometimes they will take the form of lists if it's a set of tasks I need to accomplish. Yes, they'll all be in English, but the shape of the thoughts varies vastly depending on circumstance.

...Speaking of which, that gives me an idea...

 

Sometimes I think in Filipino and sometimes I think in English. At rare times, I will think in Korean. It really depends on who I'm talking to, what I'm seeing at the moment, or what my mood is.

 

Dutch, a bit of German, and a whole lot of English.

 

English for me.

 

I only speak English, so I think in English. But I have caught myself using maybe a word or two of Spanish on occasion. It's usually tinged with sarcasm, though, because I've just had so many bad experiences learning Spanish that I can't get myself interested in the language anymore. At least I'm sort of learning it this year.

(oh, and if Italian words that I learned from music count, sometimes I'll think about something slowing down as a ritardando. But it's only the one word.)
