I use english when I need to comunicate with people which do not know my
language; I don't use english for comunicating with my family; I do not
dream in english, I do not count in english, I do not make any
calculation in English or German. For such kind of things the brain
switch automaticaly in the "mother language". And there is a level of
exprimation and of sensibilisation which cab be reached just when the
description of something is in the mother language. I don't guess I am
an exception but this is the usualy way how one acts.
If for you this means "pick up" a language, then I have to agree with
you:-))
