Hey, hope this question isn't too intrusive, but... :) Do you usually write the entries first in German or English? What language do you think in, so to speak, when you're composing them, or does it switch depending on which you're writing in?
I suppose we've always been fascinated by the... psychology of being able to speak more than one language, you could say, because we've never been able to do it. We took four years of Spanish in high school but never got to use it in a real-world, practical context (partly we were so afraid of messing up and really embarassing ourselves), and we know a bit of Japanese and Mandarin (languages, especially Asian languages, are one of ^Ruka's hobbies), but... as I said before, I guess none of our secondary languages have really 'taken' because we had no reason to speak them outside of our studies and no one to speak to them in about everyday matters. Though I wonder if I could persuade Ruka to put German on the agenda, heh...
