(you can go to authors@google to find that junot diaz interview I mentioned- towards the end of it he answers questions about what language he thinks in and so on.)

multi-lingualism has always intrigued me. One of my biggest regrets is having lost the ability to speak other languages in which I was reasonably fluent.

Just to be in the bilingual spirit., I've translated my earlier English repsonse (with a little help, of course!) ;-)

Soy un bilingüe dominante en inglés (también los franceses y los portugueses son idiomas que conozco un poco).
Cuando no estoy tratando a usar la gramática correcta con alguien hispano, de vez en cuando mi español sale impulsivo. Caminaré afuera en el frío y me murmuraré , " ¡ay, que frio!" sin pensando.
El autor Junot Díaz lo compara como un “conductor enojado”, que es tan automáticamente y apasionado. Pero pienso que es más que un conductor enojado; para mí también es la persona sentimental que dice, "¡ay pero cosa ma’ lindito eres tu!" Las frases pequeñas fluyen adentro y afuera de mi boca… Junot Díaz dijo una otra cosa muy interesante; que cuándo él está en una atmósfera inglés, su persona de español domina y viceversa- cuando él está en un atmósfera español, él está traduciendo para su persona de inglés… se parece que es caotico? Puede ser (caotico) y es muy típico con los bilingües…

Para mí, la lectura del SP es la más fácil. Despues la audiencia/entendiéndola, hablándola y finalmente escribiéndola

Exclamation Bilingual

I am fluent in both english and spanish. In high school,I took spanish classes to better my writing skills,as I couldn't remember where accents go,the difference between habria and hubiera,and things like that because I came here when I was 8,but I never forgot how to read,write,and speak Spanish. It has been very beneficial for me to know both english and spanish.
