I communicate (read, write, speak, think) in two different languages, and often find it hard to pick a language for journaling. Sometimes I start with one and randomly switch to the other language. Does anyone else have this experience?
- nestorD 4y agoI see it as a strength, some thoughts come easier in one language rather than the other so I pick the path of least resistance. It keeps me in the flow. It might also happen when writing to other people, in which case I will come back to the text and self-translate it once I have put all of my thoughts into words.
- creakingstairs 4y agoSince I’ve lived my teen and my adult life in an English speaking country, I find that I tend to think and write in English for concepts that I’ve learned in those times like engineering. Whereas I tend to think and write in Korean for more “primitive” things such as feelings, family and drawing.
