- Go to What Language Do You Dream In?
A lady who is co-owner of a little food store in our neighborhood
says it takes her a while to count the change because she has to do it first in French, then translate to English, having been raised with French, although she came originally from Lebanon, so I'm not so sure there isn't Lebanese in there somewhere, lol.

This is so neat, FSI. Language is a powerful thing; I think knowing more than one adds more color to our thoughts and dreams. When I got back from my exchange program to France, I remember having fallen asleep on the couch, dreaming in French, and my mother trying to shake me awake. She was speaking English, and I had no idea what she was saying. I kept telling her, "Laisse-moi tranquille, Maman!" (Leave me alone, Mom!)

Although I'm trilingual - really I'm not sure which of them I dream in. When using one I think in it alone. Your teacher seems a really interesting man, so I can understand why you liked him so much.
