Experience Tumblr like never before
When I was in primary school it was mandatory to learn four languages: dansish, english, german & manderin, and then you could add french if you wanted (did that for one year before i went NOPE)
It was so confusing. I would start to think in german while learning manderin. Sometimes after an english class I forgot how to speak danish, and couldn't remember a single danish word. Which is my native language. It was so fustrating.
I found a way to help me switch between languages. When I was stuck in a language, I would count to ten in another. And sometimes I couldn't. But eventually I got it, and halleluja! I could think in my native language again.
What they don’t tell you about speaking multiple languages is that your brain does not in fact have a box labeled Spanish and another one labeled German. Instead it has a box labeled “Not English” and sometimes when you’re talking or writing in one of the languages you speak it will just start pulling random words from that box.
