[QUOTE="ElementalDissonance, post: 92079, member: 6064"] It really depends. If you're imagining a conversation with someone, usually you'll think in the language with which you speak to the person. If you're just thinking about something in general, the language of your thoughts could depend on the last person you talked to, on whether or not you're hearing or reading things in either language at the time, whether you've just woken up and your brain circuits are more active in your native language than in your acquired language(s), and if you're more familiar with the subject matter in one language or the other. It can be hard for me to think about some things in English because I didn't learn about them in my native land. And some explanations I nearly always give in French, so when someone asks me to explain in English, I'm literally at a loss for words. I'm sure there are other factors that determine the language we think in, but these are the major ones that come to mind. [/QUOTE]
