I get that problem a bit too.
どこ está Sánchez?

I do it with any language though. Norwegian and English get mixed up sometimes anyway, so why not throw a few more languages into the mix.

Yeah I've had issues of that with French and Japanese. It took me a long time to get to grips with fillers to go at the start of sentences in Japanese because I always used to overuse things like like "je pense" to buy time - but of course と思う goes at the end. I still find if I spend any time reading or listening to French it really interferes with my ability to produce Japanese. Fortunately my German is still so weak it's not a problem!

I find it funny that I didn't see anything wrong with that sentence until like a minute later.

Yeah that's another thing about German I like... the word order is the same.. the fillers are pretty much direct translations of our fillers.. it's easier to get a hold of the language.

Well my German teacher took me aside and complimented me on my German and said the class would probably be too easy for me but I'm welcome to keep coming if I want. I said I would because she speaks German the whole class (I love that) and therefore I'm getting a lot of good practice. That and it's the highest level night course they offer.

It's not so good that I have German class right as my weekend starts.   At least for my Japanese. I had
German last night. I was posting how I talk to myself in German and I wish I could do that in Japanese.
Talking to myself in German is definitely how it started way back when I was trying to get my brain to wrap
itself around modal verbs and relative clauses and tenses etc. But later it turned in just daydreaming in
German. I don't even want to but my stupid mind just starts having fake conversations with people in
German. This would be awesome if I weren't trying to learn Japanese at the moment. Argh.

Try to imagine encounters with attractive and interesting Japanese people. That helps me to daydream in the right language. I generally can't just "think" in a language. I need context for an imaginary conversation!

haha I was thinking the same thing myself.. my German teacher is attactive and interesting so that's probably
why I was daydreaming in German ;).

I'm trying to think of people I can have pretend conversations in my head with in Japanese but I haven't met
hardly any Japanese people in real life.
