When you are doing the typing in English, do you think in English.

Or do you think in your own language and then translate it in your head, then type it.

Or what.

nien

but, when I type in French, I have to think about what I'm saying in english then type. It's hard but if I dont know how to say something, I ask Guillaume or my french teacher. French is kinda backwards so I usually need a lot of help.

I do all my thinking in Welsh. Much more logical that way.

Then I translate it to English before t'postage.

Do you not sometimes twist the guts out of syntax. Me I'm more of a metaphor mixer.

Far from it, you are to be congratulated.

I suppose thinking in the language probably demonstrates a good understanding. Or perhaps a natural talent for languages.

But you are mad, so what's your point.

If I ask it's a deep, meaningful and damned interesting topic for discussion.

If you ask it's a mental talking pish.

Shirley you know this.

I ask Guillaume or my french teacher.
Are you sure that's a good idea? After all I coud very well be wrong or have you say things you don't want to say. How do you know I didn't have you write "I like to munch on cawks" in your report thingy the other day? :shifty:
