They came from overseas, but have been living here for ages. After using English so much, do you eventually stop thinking in your native language?I tend to talk to myself (yes I know I'm weird) inside my head, and I have been using English during those periods since around grade 8, when I had barely enough mastery in English to do so. Before that point, I used Vietnamese, of course.
I started English at grade 6, by the way.
That's the closest I can think of as "thinking in English" for now.
