You know, I studied Spanish in school, but didn't pay attention to this difference! It seemed normal to me, maybe because in my language there is no peculiar word order, we can put words in sentence wherever we want, depending on the main accent of a word.
Yes, I think different languages make people think different, but not to the dramatic extend. In general questions we are alike. Spending time on this forum, I can't say that I see much difference between people's thinking. The difference here mostly depends on age and personal qualities.
