in what language you think?
that is not easy, for someone whose his mother language is not english and just learnt english for few months to try to write down his taught and spread to the world what he thinks, using english.
I have been thinking for so long, either I want to try to write in english or not? And just a few days ago I decided that I have to break my own limit. One of the biggest limit for all humans is fear. Fear of fail.
In according to break my own limit I wrote.
Okay… let start this not so interesting article by questioning “in what language we think?”
I often think, when I was trying to improve my english, I am –somehow- try to think in english, I meant I was thinking using english as the language to talk to my self, and I am somehow feell difficult. I was thinking slower, and unfocus……. Hence I was tried to change the way I think, I was trying to think in indonesian language first, and then translate it into english, much better, but sure it takes time longer than directly thinking in english.
But the question is… have you ever realize, when u are mastering more than one language, or let say you are so often migrate from one place to another, and all those places has their own language or at least their own characteristic of language even the language are same, you will slowly but sure change your way of think became the language you are in now.

you’re right. that’s not easy for us to speak in english ‘coz we habitually think, and of course speak, in Indonesian…
but, in this world, nothing is impossible if we wanna try, learn, and keep our selfconfidence…=D
I’ve learnt one thing from my friend who speaks in english fluently. He never feel ashamed of what just he told in english or feel afraid that he would make a mistake..
So, just do it…do it…and do it. Keep trying..! =D
