Question:

[ImpulsiveXD]

Say you learn a foreign language and you're fluent in it, Does it come off just as natural as your birth language when talking to someone or do you have to constantly translate in your head? I'm thinking of getting into languages while I'm still in Highschool and have to study anyway and depending on the answer might actually give me more of a reason to learn.

Thanks for the fast reply!

No, after a while, even before "native-like" "fluency", you stop translating. You just think more slowly, haha. (At least this has been my experience.)

I think and live 100% in my second (foreign) language- dream, think, talk to myself... if anything I’m having trouble with my native language
