Do you think primarily in English?
vaksel: Thats not being unilingual, that's just not being fluent. The whole definition of fluent, is that you can speak both languages w/o translating it in your head.As far as the whole needing to describe empathy, thats just a lack of vocabulary...you don't know the word for empathy, so you try to describe it with other words.As far as thinking in one language, that's not that uncommon, I'm fluent in 3 languages, and know 2 so-so, but the voice in my head is set to the language I use most in my day to day life. Sure I can switch to another language on a whim, but it takes an extra effort.
