Born in China, with my native language being Mandarin. Moved to USA at 4 years old. I think in English, though–I rarely use Mandarin day-to-day.

- cglee 18y agoI'm similar, except I moved to US at 6. When I'm around English speakers, I think in English. When I'm around Mandarin speakers, I think in Mandarin. The funny thing is when I'm around a localized Chinese dialect, say Taiwanese speakers, the voice in my head adopts that accent too. It's probably because I don't usually think in Chinese.
- btw0 18y agoBorn in China, still in China, I think in neither Chinese nor English, people don't think in human languages, human languages are only for communications.
