Phrasal verbs, huh. I never thought about it but I suppose English does have a gazillion of those nano-idioms. Turn up, turn down, turn on, turn off, turn to, turn in, turn out. I think I subconsciously avoid them as well when talking to someone with a limited grasp of the language•. Regarding math, I'm a English non-native and learning to 'think math' in English was something that I, at some point, simply decided to start putting an effort into, as if it was more of a separate skill. I'm not sure if it's the best indicator, but I definitely did stick with my native language for math for a while, although only for simple counting and arithmetic. I've experienced the language switch brainhalt myself, it's pretty funny. For a moment it feels like someone spoke alien to me. [•] modulating language to make it go down through google translate smoother is something that I've noticed myself and some others do on the English-Japanese barrier, from both sides. P.S. Hey sweet, clever.io paused the timer while I was busy typing all this out. Neat!
