When I was learning French in UK (At that time it was a requirement to have an O level in French, Spanish, German or Russian for one to graduate in the Science Subjects), I realized that I was thinking in English and translating the same mentally into French.
I do think in Punjabi as well as in Urdu depending upon whom I am conversing with. Even though I speak passable Farsi, I think in Urdu and translate it mentally. Many a times I have become conscious of this as I am not sure if the word used in Urdu is of Persian origin or not thus I end up speaking Farsi slowly.
