In the last 2 years or so, because I'm using English so often, I catch myself thinking in English too. A lot of the time.
I consider this to be a problem, because I feel a lot dumber when doing this.
Words don't have the same connotations they do after translating them, and I seem to lack lots of the reasoning skills and the "consciousness" and clarity I have when thinking in Greek.
In fact I'm starting to translate everything word to word while reading or before speaking, but it's taking very long.
Is that a thing for you? How do you deal with it.

bump because I want to know
Have similar problem myself but that is probably due to my lack of proficiency in English

>How do you deal with it
i don't mind it, nobody else but me will hear it after all
do you actually speak english or you only read/write in english on a regular basis?

I am getting faster at processing conversation in my new language and I have had a handful of dreams with bits in the language, but never thought in it. Not sure what that means.

Stop going on 4chan, read more Greek.

Yeah it happens a lot, i even curse in english sometimes and i don't know why
>>75940657
Because cursing in English is a satisfying feeling.

Not compared to cursing in Spanish.
>>75934200
that sounds very confusing

I think your point raises from the fact that English is heavily context-depending. I've come across something similiar aswell t. Math-anon

I listen to english a lot, and have been for almost 10 years (when youtube started taking off 99% of the content was in english, plus movies/series and video games)
I might be "mentally pronouncing" the words wrongly as I read them, but I do it nonetheless.
I've also taken some english classes over the years and chatted online, so I'm certainly understandable but probably have a heavy accent compared to natural speakers.
