But here's the secret. If you're not sure which one to use, use 思う. It's often safer to opt for the word that carries less responsibility. But you CANNOT always use 思う because if you do, others might think (<< this is 思う)　that you never think things seriously (<< that is 考える).

I know it's hard for you now. But be patient. You will be using the two properly as your study progresses.

その大字な文が好きですよね～　意味が出ました！正し く使うといいが・・・
For instance, if someone asked: 「この問題の答えは何ですか？」 and I don't know, but I'm thinking about it, would I say 「まだ考えています」?

世の中にばかな質問というものはありません。すべてが 良い質問です。どんどん質問して下さい。

じゃあ、質問は重なって山になります！

これはトピずれです・・・僕の「が」と「は」の慣用法 は正しいですか？よく「が」と「は」で間違うと思うん ですよね。
