A friend of ours was born in Israel and is now a fine teacher
of Hebrew in the US.  Her children have always been fluent in both
English and Hebrew, but she was able to tell, from her older child's
use of idioms, that when her daughter was about six years old,
she stopped thinking in Hebrew, and instead thought in English
while speaking in Hebrew.
