The dark side of the language ^^ Many of us here try to learn language. We like that process, it's interesting, fun. It allows us to dream about new people, about new experience. Isn't it great? Sometimes you're so impassioned by it and inside of you grows some kind of overwhelming desire to use a new language everywhere with all that people around you and even to think in it like natives. The language you're thinking in is pretty interesting topic. From one hand I've heard a point based on some scientists research, that it's impossible to think in any foreign language but your native. The only difference is the time you need to translate everything happens inside your head and when it's small enough you have a fake feeling of thinking in foreign language. From the other hand, sometimes when you use foreign language too much, it seems you think in foreign language and don't translate anything at all and that is really great feeling, even if it's a fake. :) The only thing still remains and breaks that great feeling is complex set phrases. And hidden unobvious exceptions. And some local slang. And some grammar issues. And.. damn it, that's too much of it. Looks like it's better to move for a while in place where nobody uses any language, but your target one and communicate with people as much as possible. And after a several years finally reach that simple dream :) ps. May be sometimes people will invent some more simple way of language learning, e.g. just a copy some information from a usb drive directly in the head. Oh, that pipedreams :)
