Predominantly in English because I've lived in England for the greater half of my life but sometimes I do do the odd misspeaking in Nepalese when someone's talking to me in English haha


Can you think in Nepalese?
Yeah!! There are a lot of words that I use in Nepalese that I have to use when I'm talking in English because I can't translate it directly (in my head and outloud) :tongue:

Can you think in bengali?
I used to be decent in Korean when I lived in Seoul, but since I moved back to Europe (nearly 8 years now) I've lost it all, apart from how to say "Hello, my name is ..." and "Thank you".
