    Studying lot of languages makes everything a problem.
    My native language is italian, and because of my boyfriend I'm always speaking english, but he's german so step by step I'm getting better in that language too, cause the 3 years I spent at university trying to learn it didn't bring that much.
    I studied french and spanish too, but my spanish is almost gone; on the other hand I can speak french but I don't like it that much, so your brain selects what to keep and what to throw by time.
    I studied in the last years russian too, but I don't feel confortable at speaking it, I see I understand more by reading mostly.

    Sometimes I hate I studied so many languages because I always forget simple words in mine too. And sometimes it's making everything stressing.
    On the other side I will learn japanese, as it's one of my favorite languages... but I'm afraid this decision will lead to have more problems with my language.
    I have also to move to Germany, so german will replace my native language.

    I end up having lot of dreams in english, and I don't know how but last night my brian mixed the few japanese I have and I was speaking japanese in my dream!!! that was really really weird.

    But definitely yes, I tend to think in english sometimes as I find it faster than italian, but actually there are always these expression (part of my language) which I don't think can exist in any language I know. So in the end when you want to express the essence of what you are thinking about or what you are dealing with, you end up getting back to your language and you appreciate so deeply how much your language is productive and full.

    I think in all the languages I speak. Just the language of my thoughts depend on time of day and what language has the best words to use. Like xren, idu v banu, skotina, etc...can't be translated any better way in another language to use than how they are there rofl.

    i wish i was proficient in another language and i am jealous of those who are.

    dont get me wrong, i can pigeon spanish, german, italian and even some shit i learned from music but if i could be legit in another language i would be proud.

    as it is i am but an American mutt, and everyone from everywhere ive been pretty much speaks enough english that im not challenged enough to have to learn.

    so to summarize, i blame all of you non-American English speaking FUCKS for my lack of a second language.
