I can only think in one language and it's my second language.
Whatever language my environment is using.

So you can't think in your first language? But surely if you can speak it, you can think in it?

Well I can sort of speak French too...but wouldn't dream of thinking in it. I use my first language so rarely that it just feels awkward now :frown:
