0:56started learning English I remember
0:58trying to have conversations
1:00but I was constantly translating from my
1:02native language it felt like I had to
1:05pause every few seconds just to figure
1:07out what I wanted to say have you ever
1:09experienced that oh absolutely I think
1:13we've all been there at some point for
1:15me it was especially difficult in
1:17situations where I had to think fast
1:19like ordering food or chatting with
1:21someone casually I'd get stuck and by
1:24the time I translated what I wanted to
1:26say the conversation had already moved
1:29on yeah it's like trying to catch up to
1:31a train that's already left the station
1:34right it's all part of the learning
1:36process and that's why thinking in
1:38English is such a powerful skill it

2:12vocabulary expert Charlotte she'll help
2:15break down some of the key words and
2:17phrases we've used today great so let's
2:20kick off with our first tip on how to
2:21think in English labeling objects around
2:24you ah yes this one brings back memories
2:27when I first started learning English my
2:29apartment was covered in sticky notes my
2:31friends thought I was turning the place
2:33into an art project I can totally relate
2:37I did the same thing I remember putting
2:39a label on my mirror that said mirror
2:41and every morning I'd see it while
2:43getting ready exactly and it's funny how
2:46quickly it works after a while every
2:49time I picked up my cup or opened the
2:51refrigerator the English words just
2:53popped into my head automatically you
2:56know what's great about this method is
2:58that it turns your environment into into
3:00a constant learning space it's like
3:02passive studying you learn without even
3:04realizing it right and it helps break
3:07the habit of translating from your
3:09native language because you're directly
3:11associating the English word with the
3:13object so the bottom line is labeling
3:16objects helps you think in English by
3:18making the language a natural part of
3:20your daily life well said Jennifer it's
3:23all about creating those connections in
3:25your brain over time you'll find
3:27yourself thinking of the English word
3:29first uh-huh and that's a big step
3:31toward fluency so to all our listeners
3:34give it a try and let us know how it
3:36goes absolutely you know speaking of
3:39making English a natural part of daily
3:41life it reminds me of another tip that's
3:43been really helpful oh are you thinking
3:45about using simple sentences in your
3:47thoughts exactly when I started forcing
3:50myself to think in English I realized I
3:53didn't have to construct perfect
3:54sentences just simple straightforward
3:57thoughts yes I used to over complicate
4:00things by trying to think in complex
4:01sentences which made it harder and more
4:03frustrating same here then I began
4:06thinking in simple phrases like I am
4:08hungry it's sunny today or I need to buy
4:11milk it made the process so much easier
4:14and the best part is as you get
4:16comfortable with simple sentences you
4:18naturally start forming more complex
4:20ones without even trying absolutely it's
4:23like building blocks you start small and
4:25over time you build up your language
4:27skills I remember waiting for the the
4:29bus and thinking to myself bus is late
4:33or I see a red car it felt a bit basic
4:37but it kept my mind engaged in English I
4:39did that too even narrating mundane
4:42tasks like I wash dishes or I read book
4:44helped reinforce my thinking in English
4:47and the beauty of this method is that
4:48you can do it anywhere anytime no
4:51special tools needed just your mind
4:53exactly it's a simple habit that can
4:55make a big difference over time so to
4:58our listeners try and incorporating
5:00simple English sentences into your
5:02thoughts throughout the day don't worry
5:04about grammar or Perfection just keep it
5:06simple and remember the goal is to train
5:09your brain to think directly in English
5:12which will boost your fluency and
5:14confidence we'd love to hear how this
5:16technique works for you share your
5:18experiences in the comments definitely
5:21now building on that another tip that
5:23really helped me was to talk to yourself
5:24in English oh yes selft talk can be
5:27surprisingly effective did you ever
5:30catch yourself having full conversations
5:32alone all the time I remember cooking
5:34dinner and narrating every step now I
5:37chop the onions I need to boil the water
5:39it felt a bit silly at first but it made
5:41a big difference I did the same when I
5:43was driving I'd comment on everything
5:46the traffic is heavy today that car is
5:49moving fast it kept my mind engaged and
5:52helped me think on my feet exactly it's
5:55like giving yourself a constant practice
5:57session plus since you're alone there's
5:59no no pressure or fear of making
6:01mistakes and over time it becomes second
6:04nature you start thinking in English
6:06without even trying right and it's not
6:09just about narrating actions sometimes
6:11I'd even practice conversations I might
6:14have in the future oh like rehearsing
6:16for a meeting or a social event yes I'd
6:19imagine someone asking me questions and
6:21think about how I'd respond in English
6:24that's a great strategy It prepares you
6:26for real life situations and boosts your
6:29confidence
6:30for our listeners don't worry if it
6:31feels awkward at first the more you do
6:34it the more natural it becomes
6:37absolutely so give it a try start
6:39talking to yourself in English and see
6:41how it helps you think in the language
6:43and as always we'd love to hear about
6:45your experiences feel free to share in
6:48the comments speaking of immersing
6:50ourselves in English another simple yet
6:52powerful tip is to change the settings
6:54of one of your devices or applications
6:57to English oh yes I remember switching
7:00my phone's language to English it was a
7:02bit challenging at first but it forced
7:04me to navigate in English daily same
7:07here I changed the language on my social
7:09media apps it was interesting to see
7:12everything in English it felt like a
7:13mini immersion it's a great way to
7:15surround yourself with the language you
7:17get used to seeing and reading English
7:20regularly plus you pick up new
7:22vocabulary along the way I learned a lot
7:24of tech related terms this way exactly
7:28and it's not just phones you can change
7:30the settings on your computer tablet
7:32even your smart TV for our listeners you
7:35don't have to switch everything at once
7:37start with one device or app and see how
7:39it goes good point it should be a
7:41comfortable challenge not
7:43overwhelming so try changing a device or
7:46app to English and immerse yourself even
7:48more in the language let us know which
7:51ones you switch and how it impacts your
7:53learning and now here's an interesting
7:55technique thinking about situations in
7:58English yes
8:00this one's all about visualization
8:02whenever I was in a situation I'd try to
8:04describe it in English in my mind me too
8:07if I was at a cafe I'd think I am
8:10ordering a coffee or the Barista is
8:12friendly it helped me process my
8:14surroundings in English it's like
8:17creating a mental dialogue you engage
8:20with the environment and practice at the
8:21same time exactly and it doesn't have to
8:24be limited to current situations you can
8:27imagine future scenarios or recall past
8:29events in English that's a great point I
8:33used to replay conversations in my head
8:35thinking about what I could have said in
8:37English it's a form of mental rehearsal
8:39which is really beneficial for language
8:41learning for our listeners next time
8:44you're out and about try narrating the
8:46situation in English in your mind it's a
8:49subtle but effective way to think in the
8:51language and as always we'd love to hear
8:53how this technique works for you another
8:56helpful tip is to track your activities
8:58in English yes keeping a journal or a
9:01diary in English can be really impactful
9:04I started writing down my daily tasks
9:06and Reflections in English it not only
9:09improved my writing skills but also
9:10reinforced thinking in English same here
9:14I used a planner where I jot down
9:15appointments and to-do lists in English
9:18it's a simple habit that integrates the
9:21language into your everyday life and
9:23over time you can look back and see your
9:25progress which is really motivating for
9:28our listeners consider starting a small
9:30notebook or using a notetaking app to
9:32track your activities in English it's a
9:35great way to practice and organize your
9:37life at the same time and don't worry
9:40about making mistakes the goal is to
9:42think and write in English not to be
9:44perfect exactly so give it a try and

9:51technology and language learning text in
9:54English yes whether it's messaging
9:57friends posting on social media or even
9:59setting reminders doing it in English
10:01makes a big difference I started texting
10:03a friend who was also learning English
10:06we'd have whole conversations via text
10:08which was less intimidating than
10:10speaking at first that's a great idea I
10:13joined some online groups where the
10:15communication was in English it was a
10:17fun way to interact and practice plus
10:20texting gives you time to think about
10:22your responses so you can construct
