      Multi-lingual inner monologue is awesome though.

      So much of how we think is dictated by the language we speak. Many things can only be said in some but not other languages.

        I used to code switch in my inner monologue. Now it’s mostly English. I pretty much only speak my native language with my parents.

        The other day I ran into some distant relatives at a new years celebration and one of them remarked that my language was rusty and pronunciation is weird…idk about pronunciation. I don’t agree there. But my active vocab in native language is pretty diminished.

            Yeah fr.

            I just don’t see any need to improve my native language. I don’t need it irl, and I find it pretty boring. Unlike other foreign languages I might learn for fun.

        One cool thing with todays “AI” is it’s only statistics, so I can ask it C’est combien for a new brödrost, and it works perfectly well.

        Super handy when you’re typing and you forget a word in the language you’re using.

    I had a dream of my locally regeional folklore creatures once, all speaking English. Realizing that they’re out of character made me so annoyed that I actually woke up.

    My head says stuff in other languages all the time because a word’s easier or funner to say.

    I learned enough japanese that I didn’t translate to english in my head apart from new words just to play games not likely to be translated or localized but for some reason I remember them in english like I played them in english. Language is just weird and brain is just weird. Then my japanese friends went home before covid lockdowns and now I can barely follow a conversation.

    I’ve been having my inner monologue in English for since I was a teenager but I think deep down my mother tongue language is the language of my subconscious

    Pretty normal. Some words are used much more often in English and others don’t even exist in my language.
