Can you think in any other languages?


Nope.

It feels like i am forgetting how to speak in my first language, so, let alone think in it.

Cantonese. I feel like I'm more fluent and better at english. I can think in Cantonese but I tend not to just because I find english easier.

So you can think in 2 languages? Can you think in any other languages?
english is weaker and i dnt think in it
Hmmm never thought of it like that. I'd say we think in our stronger language. A question for other bilinguals, which language do you have dreams in? For me it's always English
