My native language is dutch, but I'd say about a third of the time I think in english. Especially when I am doing math, working on my computer or daydream.

The same language i'm using to communicate at that particular time. For example when i'm in school or at work i think in finnish as i use it to talk. When i'm with my swedish relatives i quickly switch my head to swedish and when i'm gaming and on teamspeak it's all english up there(like right now). I never really notice it as it's an autonomous task, but when i switch languages i do sometimes notice the two meshing inside the head.

The one I have the switch turned to. It takes a minimum amount of effort to switch languages, but it's enough to tire you if you speak one and think another one.

I typically think in english but sometimes slip into French or Spanish without realizing it. It mostly happens after I've watched or read something in that language.

I'm Croatian and speak mostly English since I live in the states. I do tend to think in English most of the time except when I'm super pissed and want to actually curse like a demon. English cursing is no match for Eastern European cursing.

I need to learn some Eastern European languages then. :)
My grama used to curse like a trucker in Lithuanian, but she says she forgot most of it now (she's 96).

There is a phrase in Serbo-Croatian for fucking someone's blood and for fucking Jesus' bones until they turn to soup. Be jealous.

Portuguese is my mother language. I do think in English from time to time, specially when I read something in English or think about something I read or communicated in English.

It's a bit of a mix-up between all of the languages.

I used to work with a couple of simultaneous translators - I'd speak quietly to them and they'd simultaneously translate to the audience's language. They covered all the western European languages, at least. They were good friends. They said to me that they'd noticed that when they were just chatting they'd tend to speak French; when they were trying to be precise or describe something they'd mostly use English; when they were being romantic or talking about boyfriends they'd slip into Italian, but when they argued it was always in German...

Very cool. I wonder why English has been mentioned so much in this thread as the language often used to describe something or be technical...I would have figured that to be German for some reason.
