Cool. In one way that might give you an advantage over many people; when 
you converse in English you are forced to construct a concept in both languages. 
To do that I suspect that you will need to consider it more carefully than 
many people do. I'm about to run into a similar situation; I am going to 
be writing a program where it must be implemented in 2 different languages. 
As a result I will need to be more aware of what is actually happening than 
I otherwise would.
