Living the same life. 10 years speaking English with a non English speaking partner and I can say I now fully think in English and in many aspects my English is better than my native language.

Could never put words on it but things don’t feel so real either.

The funniest part is now I speak my native language with my small kids and have fully relapsed to my original home town accent. I had abolished that accent years ago to avoid getting bullied at high school after relocating to a big city.

My kids are actively hearing and speaking 4 languages and one is with a thick accent!
