I suppose I have to, having grown up speaking two languages. I don't translate in my head when I speak Bengali, but I usually code-switch at home. Because my Bengali is extremely colloquial and I don't know how to express most abstract concepts, the utility of doing heavy thinking in Bengali is not great. European languages pop up occasionally in my thoughts as well in bits and pieces, French in particular. Occasionally, garbled bits of half-remembered German are present as well.

Nope. Speaking and writing in German is difficult enough, thanks.

Isn't your dad German? You didn't pick up any from him?

Yeah, Romanizations of Bengali are super weird.

That looks like Hindi, though, at least as far as I know Hindi (movie titles).
