Clock Crew

How much english do you use a day? When I'm at home doing nothing but surfing the web, I daresay about 90% of words I use are English. Maybe I'll google some dutch program, make some coffee and ask my parents if they want some but for the rest I definitely use more english than my own language!

At work I speak about 60% dutch and the rest is german and a little bit english. The town I live in thrives on tourism and most of those are germans. I speak my own language with my colleagues and dutch people that come in for a snack but most of them day I spend my time asking the same questions over, and over and over again (Mit oder ohne Sauze? Spezial oder normal? Mittel oder Klein? Is das zu mitnimmen? Das ist zehn Euro bitte.)

Although I still suck at german in general you pick up the "clerk-german" pretty quickly.

At days where I don't work and don't stay at home it's practically 100% my own language :3

I even think in english half of the time.

I only speak American and Spanish but I occasionally call somebody a slag on the internet but only if they are British

Same.

This.
It's basically:
- at home: english (except for my german irc-chat and occasional videogames or university-assignments)
- not at home: german (except for some university courses that are held in english)

Quote from: obnoxious douchebag;1362534I even think in english half of the time.

And this.

Strange, I sometimes think in German and I'm English.

I find myself thinking in English way more than in Dutch

Quote from: BunnyClock;1362544Same.

Quote from: IcedTeaClock;1362546And this.

Quote from: CamoClock;1362550I find myself thinking in English way more than in Dutch

mission accomplished

all of the above statements concerning thinking in english

Lmfao and I thought I was the only asshole thinking outside my own language.

Also depends on the situation though, when we're discussing movies or games or stuff on the internet most of my thoughts are in english (though the conversation is in dutch), but when we're discussing school or work or talking about going out I think in Frisian.

I never, ever think in Dutch. Only in Frisian and English.

I never really think to myself. That's just kind of stupid. I'll think something in English but only because I like the sound of English words.

ok i choose 50/50 but i think it's more dutch than english..  

actually im pretty damm positive it's more dutch.. probably 80/20

I say about 50/50. Whenever I'm on the computer, I mostly read and speak English. When I'm doing almost everything else, I usually speak Spanish.

But also...

great comeback!


lighten up, Heineken.

Quote from: Maddox;1362598great comeback!

That wasn't a comeback at all.

seriously what's up with you guys,  I'm online about 2 hours a day, that leaves 22 hours for me to think and talk in dutch. What the hell do you guys do all day, are you hermits or something

I have nothing better to do, I live in a 3500 person town that's flooded with 20,000 germans (seriously) each summer, there's not much to do around here but work, post here and jacking off to internet porn.

I like to write, and I narrate everything in my head, when I'm bored. :o
I catch myself thinking in english, sometimes.

I'm a hermit.

It depends, when I'm in class or with my family it's English. When I'm with the Mandarin speaking friends, then it's Mandarin, when I'm with my Cantonese speaking friends then it's Cantonese. When I'm with my Malay friends then it's Malay. When I go out to eat in the hawkers, then I'll speak Hokkien to the hawkers.

Well in real life you could say I mostly speak my own language but I do have moments when I start speaking in english with someone when I can't properly make my point in romanian.
But on the internet I use english around 80% of the time
In my mind I like to think english. I consider it good exercise as I'd want to pursue a career in an english-speaking country.

I only speak my language when I'm talking to the family, the rest of the time is just English.

Sometimes I speak in english to my parents even if they reply me in spanish.

I tend to Speak in some sort of Half Mutilated English with some more spanish to make one strange language, some kind of Spanglish

Ugh my teacher (who's from america) calls the bastard language he uses in class "Denglish".

Okay people, take out your projectwijzer and look up the part about de drukkerij.

That sounds hilarious.

LOL you know I HAD to post in this one.

I used to think in Spanish.
I started to think in English.
Right now, it's a combination of the two.

But I speak mostly English.

I only type in English for my online activities, like the Clock Crew, and even then I keep thinking in french and translate my thoughts as I write them down, and if I'm lucky enough to find another french speaker online, I switch back. In my offline life, outside from understanding song lyrics on the radio, I have no real use for english. Besides tourists, no one speaks it around here.

Out of my 4 languages (3 and a half cause well my spanish isn't THAT great), I speak the most in English, English is my best (even more than my native Russian) and I think in English. If I read at all, it's in English. I watch TV in English. I write songs and lyrics in English. Most of my classes at school are in English. I speak English with almost all my friends.

so you get it

Holy shit this is the most boring topic I have seen this week.

It's a Heineken Clock thread what did you expect.

Lets make it more interesting.

What language do you use during sex?

This question will only apply to about 2 or 3 of you.

Quote from: MonsterMunchClock;1364019What language do you use during sex?

Whatever language cavemen used.

Quote from: HeinekenClock;1364021Whatever language cavemen used.

I don't think punching girls in the temple then sodomizing them is a language.
