So altogether you can think in 5 languages, right? No others, right?


Yep but like words or sentences from other languages that I have heard I can also think those in my head but like I have to force myself to do it, I won't automatically think them because obviously I don't fluently know them

I don't think so, I think it depends on the individual, my brother can't think in German or Urdu and he can't speak them very well at all cause he refuses to lol. However I think most bilinguals are able to think in 2 languages
Yeah, I speak englisn fluently (even better than my mother tongue) yet I tend to think in my mother tongue.
