I always wondered what happens when one becomes fluent in a foreign language. Does one begin thinking in that language?
Seems to me to be a good insight into another culture...
When you are immersed in a culture that speaks another language, eventually, two things happen:
You beging to THINK (short phrases at first, stream of consciousness later) in that language,
and then...
You begin to DREAM in that language.
Very surreal.

Las latinas tiene sangre demasiado caliente por mi.
Loosely, Latinas are too hot-blooded for me.
