Zapping

Yesterday I was watching the superbowl, and at the same time I was watching 'Who wrote the Bible' in the History Channel, and the news from Noticieros Telemundo. I noticed that I was switching languages withouth having a conscious thought of it. I don't know if I was doing that before and I just noticed until yesterday. So, after a certain time, can your brain process both languages withouth having a conscious zapping of them? Although speaking still is a conscious action, I don't know if it will reach that point, in which I will be able to switch between spanish and english without thinking about it. Is that why the 'pochos' then, 'forget' the spanish? Is there a point in which you don't recognize 'Oh, I am speaking in english or spanish, I am just speaking'? Interesting...

Cambiando de Canal

Ayer estaba mirando el superbowl, un programa de "Quien escribio la Biblia" en History Channel, y las noticias de Telemundo. Note que cambiar de idiomas era tan facil como cambiar de canal. Es decir, escuchaba las noticias, cambiaba al superbowl y no notaba un esfuerzo consciente en la diferencia de idiomas. Sera que lo he hecho desde algun tiempo atras y no lo notaba? Aunque el hablar todavia representa un esfuerzo consciente al 'traducir', habra un punto en el que igual puedes hablar ingles o español sin registrarlo conscientemente? Un ejemplo, los famosos 'pochos', saben que estan hablando ingles o español? o simplemente saben que estan hablando, y punto? Interesante
