Questions for Bilingual people:

what language are your thoughts? is it you native language or a mix? has anyone had to move to a new country where they needed a new language then notice one day your thought were in the new language?

It varies - if I鈥檓 in the UK I think in English normally but if I鈥檓 writing an article for a Chinese magazine then I often think in Cantonese or Mandarin depending on which part of China the magazine is sold in.馃檪馃帋馃惣馃嚟馃嚢
For me it depends on which of my languages I most recently spoke in or heard (English or Spanish). If I just spoke in or heard Spanish for example, then my thoughts will probably be in Spanish, involuntarily. Same goes for English.

I know three languages. One that I speak at home and one that most people speak in my country apart from English.

I rarely thought in my mother tongue. And for the last few years it's been English most of the time.

Me, I can change the language I think in. At will, but it also happens involuntarily. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I only realise which language I'm thinking in when I talk to someone.

When in home country, its my national language and when I was abroad, it turned into the English. Rarely ever I think in my native language though

It doesn't really matter
As a child I used to be able to switch it on and off depending on who was around. Now I tend to always think in English.

When talking to people who can speak both English and German I tend to talk bit of mish mash And pick out the easier words to fit the situation 馃槉
