I do have a inner monologue. I used to have three voices in my head when I give presentations in college. One voice keep track of content I am reading. One voice that translates it into English (Even-though I am reading English text somehow it is represented in my head as native speech). Other delivers the presentation in English. I used have this processing for each sentence I utter. Even when I read a book I used to have context in native language and a English correlation. I was slow in processing information written in English even though I understand it because of this processing over head of translating from English to native context. I tried consciously to get rid of this language based contexts. Now a days I have something like a zone of thinking where I get in to a English processing context. It feels like my inner voice speaks in English when I am in this zone of thinking and switches to native tongue when I am out of this zone. I don't know if this is something everyone goes through when they acquire a new language.
