Those who have learned a second language are guaranteed to consciously think of words and their corresponding meaning in your native language or vice versa.

This is common with more "complex" sentences, like "My favorite color is green.", rather than "Hi" or "Hello, how are you?" (The latter being a common phrase, so it needs no thinking in most languages.).

• Is it possible to stop the conscious act of translating your native language to your second language or vice versa?
• Is it possible to fully "think" in your second language?
