Well, when I type (I rarely speak, but also when I do), the idea structures itself in English syntax. So I assume that's what you mean by "thinking in English".
I also find my mother tongue language to be more... emotional. Like I feel embarrassed to use it or something of the kind. I talk to my cousin (he's the closest dude to me in the world) in Vietnamese, but if I see him online, we chat in English, so I think it's the same feeling for him. Dunno why.
And despite 20 years of speaking Vietnamese, it took me 10 minutes to find an equivalent word for "heroic".
