This is a good one. I never thought about a thinking language. Thinking is a mental process based on ones experience

I think it's automatic. When I speak in English I think in English, not in Spanish ( my mother tongue)

This is a good one. I never thought about a thinking language. Thinking is a mental process based on ones experience. Based on my readings about how the human mind works, I dont think that thinking has a language. our minds work the same way irrespective of the languages we speak. Let us know if you know differently.

Actually, I don't think my thinking is attached to one language, I think, then express my thoughts in the available words: English or Arabic. Most of the time there is interference of one language with the other. But I can depend on one language when I decide.

People commit mistakes when they start thinking in their native language. To speak efficietly English people should think in English.

Since communicating in English is much easier than any other language, I generally think only in English.

But if anyone speaks to me in my native language (Malayalam), I do my best to communicate in the same language, out of respect to the person speaking that language, even though I may not be100% perfect.
