Do you ever think in Chinese? Or just stick to English? Do you have to force yourself to think in Chinese?

Lool dude why so curious? and I don't force myself to think in chinese unless why I am in mandarin class. It's more like an unconscious decision.

I live in Germany and it's my native language so mostly German. However, sometimes there are English words in my thoughts and whenever I deal with something in English (like at the moment) I think in English, just as when I am in the UK.
When I was on holiday in Spain I also thought in Spanish sometimes.

Yes

I think when you speak a language fluently, you usually also can think in it fluently.
At this point this language should feel natural I think... At least this is how I experienced it.

Ahh same!! :redface:

I speak farsi, English, dutch, Russian (I had to learn Russian because some of my family members can't speak farsi/english) all fluently but I'd say for Russian I'm 85% fluent and I know a bit of Spanish!
