What I find really interesting (in a sort of academic 'huh,' kind of way) is when I think in French. If I'm speaking or reading French for any extended length of time I'll start to think in that language instead of English; then, for a short while afterwards, I have difficulty getting hold of English words and concepts, as if English were my second language and not the other way around. This is why I could never work as a translator; I just don't have that ability to move seamlessly back and forth between languages.
When I'm doing something visual, I think visually. My learning process works this way, largely. When I'm composing or playing music, I think musically, which is also visual for me but isn't quite, either; I'm not sure I could explain it and can only hope that other musicians understand what I mean.
