Born in Brazil, because of that, Portuguese is my main language, although i use way more english than portuguese, since i don't talk too much in RL with vacations other than with my brothers. Since i spend most of my woke up hours in comp, i spend most of my day talking in english.
Started learning english since... since i remember using computer, which was like 8 years ago until now. Spanish has been taught in classes since 5th grade or so. Although you can choose to learn english or spanish in some schools, i prefered to do both of those.
Tried learning some japanese for the past 3 years, but only learned to understand and mind-translate things for survivability in a japanese version such as quests, skills and such. Haven't learned anything of communication other than the default expressions. I don't consider i've learned japanese. Since i can only translate it to english, and not so many things other than english pronnounciation.
I have the same thing Loose described. Thinking in english when speaking and chatting in it. And the same with Spanish and Portuguese :C
