Do you think language thinking is important?

Do you think that thinking in a foreign language is important to learning? 

I think that I want to learn a foreign language，T you must first understand the thinking and culture of the country, otherwise you will have a lot of contradictions. What do you think?  how do you thing? ? Right now I think in Chinese I'm the Chinese-style thinking.☺

我觉得学好一门外语，首先要了解那个国家的思维和文化，否则会有很多的矛盾，你学得呢？现在我就是中国式思维。

To answer: Yes I do! I find it very hard to write Chinese because I still think in English!
