always wondered. If English isn't your native tongue are you then thinking thoughts in your native language?
Everyday thoughts are obvously in my mothertongue which is not English. On the otherhand if I write something here I also think what I write beforehand and I dont translate it. Same with reading something.
Bassically if no language is preset from outside, my thoughts are in german.

Even though my native language is swiss german I think more in English than in german just because I'm online a lot and I have real life friends who speak English too it's just more comon for me now. But I still think in german sometimes too of course.
It's about 50/50. Though I live in Denmark and speak Danish in my everyday life, most of the media I consume is in English - social media, books, articles and blog posts, shows and movies, music - so I'm used to switching between two languages, and my thoughts will randomly switch, too.
My native language isn't English. Most of the times I think in my language, but other times it's in English, especially when I'm shocked or angry Lol
you start fusing both language into one and think in both depending of what language your using more often.
English is my main language, so English.
But I'm also fluent in French and after about 3 days of immersion I'll be thinking in French.It's mainly English now. I've been speaking it so long that it's my main language.

In college one day my Japanese roommate suddenly looked at me and said "Oh wow, I'm thinking in English now!".
