I can only think in English and Nepalese; it's like a ratio of 80%:20% to each other tho
Do you have to force yourself to think in Nepalese?
sometimes if I can't remember a word or how to phrase things otherwise it's all natural

But you prefer to think in English?
Yeah... I think I'm just not used to speaking Nepalese a lot, it has improved massively from before but I used to be unable to hold a conversation because I was afraid of ridicule ><

Yes. I can speak Hindi and Marathi.
Neither of those are Asian languages. Indians, Pakistanis, and Bangladeshis are not Asians. Asians have almond-shaped eyes. I don't know why Britons always get that wrong.

That's the american definition, in the UK, someone from Asia is classified as Asian. In the US it is usually someone from East Asia.

Yeah, too bad the US is the dominant country, culture, and definer of the English language and nobody gives a **** what Britons think...

What language do you think in? What age did you learn all 3?
I think in English, and speak to almost everyone in English. So from around when I was 1.
Just my grandparents don't speak English well so I speak Bengali to them. I learnt it at the age of 3.
Arabic is really recent. I'm still learning it, but I know enough to talk to people in Arab countries.

Scuse you, Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are most certainly Asian languages. I don't know where you got the idea that all Asians have almond shaped eyes.
