I write in English. Not a lot but I do. It’s not my native language though. My mother language is greek. I grew up in Greece, then in age of around 23 went to study piano in Germany for 5 years and instead of going back to Greece I landed in Croatia. Here I had to learn a complete new (Slavic?) language. It took me 3 years. In the meantime I was consuming English content in the “usually suspicious” ways, internet, software, books, movies, tv etc. The way I communicated with my wife was in german first(where we met), then a little greek and after we got back to Zagreb / Croatia, we crossfaded to croatian the more I learned it. My point is: I can read and write a specific language (croatian or english better the other two less) the same goes for talking. But there’s absolute no distinction whatsoever in my head about what is the way I think in : croatian or greek? I really don’t know. It’s like a fog or cloud. What do you guys think ?
