I started to try and analyze some of my own conversations at home (obviously made more difficult because I’m trying to do it at the same time as actually having the conversation). I have started to wonder if it is just me who thinks that our conversations are constantly happening on two levels; firstly what is actually being said, and secondly; what the other person thinks you are actually saying. I’ve found myself saying out loud more and more, “listen to what I’m saying, not what you think I’m saying”, and oh yeh, let’s not even start to think about the subtleties of doing it across two languages. Great for mental agility, less good for easy living!
