    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.

    I think in english, it comes as natural;
    but still I know my english writing is perhaps the worst in this forum.
