[QUOTE="slsh, post: 474906, member: 8"] Malika - just my English-speaking opinion (with leftover French from school a gazillion years ago), it sounds to me like he has adopted French as his primary language and the structure of his English sentences might be more related to it being his "second" language rather than an indication of any underlying speech or processing issue, especially since he's got proper French structure down. I'd be curious to know what language he thinks in... I know my French dramatically improved in college when I was taking a course that had me so immersed I'd leave the classroom actually thinking in French rather than English. "you have to don't" - this seems to me to be what I'd consider kind of normal translation since in French the negatives surround the verb (i.e. Je ne sais pas versus I don't know). Of course - you should hear me butcher French, LOL. :winking: [/QUOTE]
