I DON’T REALLY SPEAK ENGLISH

        

 I don't really speak English.

But I post in English.

Looks crazy?

Not really.

I communicate in English but I think in Spanish.

I am talking to myself in Spanish.

My brain is processing all information in Spanish.

Once we agree (myself and me) on the best answer, my brain translates it from Spanish to English.

You won’t notice that when you're talking to me!

I am catching every word you say and translating it to Spanish at high speed.

Unfortunately, like google translator, I make many mistakes.

Sometimes what I write is not really what I mean.

Other times what I write is more than what I mean.

Trying to help, you will probably advise me:

- If you don’t speak English, why you don’t post in Spanish and “Ya Esta”?

- Looks smart suggestion but I can’t.

-Why not?

- Because when I write in Spanish I think in French and I translate…

-Okay, Okay .. I got it .. Just Post In French “et pas de soucis” !

-I can’t do that either.

-Do you have any reason?

- Just when I write in French I am translating from Arabic and…

-Basta .. Stop. Arrête ???... write your posts in Arabic and khalass!

- Not possible.

- I am really curious to know why?

- When I write in Arabic, I think in Berber.

- Are you making fun of me? You will probably tell me that you can’t post in Barbarian or whatever you call it because you are thinking in Swahili or wólof?

- I can post in Berber.

- Great, then post in your native language and delete this annoying article!

- I can do that but…  will you read my posts if I write them in Berber?

- No, I won’t but Berbers will do… By the way, do they have internet in the Atlas Mountains?

?????? I do translate my answers from German into English, but when I read or listen, I just understand it. Well at least since I've discovered that I dream in English sometimes ??
