uh I have a question whenever I try to speak in English I have um I need to translate
my in my mind to my native language yes so how can I get a little translation process?
when talking to in English I got you okay that's really good question most of the students have
the same problem actually you know translation cannot work after a certain level I would say
until B1, B2 level uh it is okay I don't say you have to I say it is okay to use
translations from your mother language or let's say using your mother language dictionaries as
well as the google or whatever but from B1 level and on I never recommend it which means that
firstly we have to know what your level is and uh then we can decide I think at least you should be
like A2, B1 level right? What is your level? My length my level intermediate, intermediate okay
so you are a B1 level so, okay try not to use translation while uh
you're basically uh speaking to somebody right uh yeah this thing actually comes from perfectionism
mostly people want to be perfect I mean in a way that they are really perfect or they
feel perfect while they are speaking in their mother language guys we cannot be really perfect
in another language other than our mother language it is almost impossible or that is not
the point okay never ever try to be like that perfectionism kills perfectionism cannot help you
so first okay just just try to be try to be vulnerable okay try to be vulnerable forget about
perfectionism this is number one number two is by repetition by exposure by practicing a lot you can
you can overcome this fear and step by step you can improve another technique that I can tell you
is you need to talk to those people who are at the same level with you let's say you are an intermediate
level talk to intermediate level students or let's say language users try to feel that okay
my English is not bad I can understand and my friends' English is not bad okay we can understand
each other so there's no huge competition and step by step psychologically you are ready
to go up all right so if you pay attention to these two stuff I would say you can be successful
you say yeah you have to see your level you have to avoid yes translate translating but you didn't
explain how of course I tried to explain actually as I said first you have to be psychologically
ready okay uh how? First, try to avoid being perfectionist, I explained this, oh that's a good
that's the solution trying to avoid avoid perfect perfectionism yes so in your opinion
in your opinion when you speak and you don't need to translate you are perfect
that is perfection in your opinion no no I said that this um psychology comes from the mother
language actually you know let's say you speak Mexican let's say you speak Arabic Spanish okay
because Arabic, Spanish, French whatever is your mother language
you feel okay with it you can easily maneuver on the language really easily and quickly
so you feel strong and you want to have the same feeling while speaking English because
because somehow people are unable to be at that level okay with that fluency with that you know uh
beautiful speaking skills what happens people automatically how can I say they do not want
to talk they do not talk they say I can't I mean everything is related to our psychology
everything our success our failure the whole life everything you know you say you have to
talk you have to talk and you you will be better okay your the answer you gave me was very good
perfectionism I yeah yes yes I have perfectionism actually obsessed with conversative
or something I need to get rid of professionalism first to achieve a level fluid level in my English
so you said I need to find the person that exactly I mean why? why I said that because if you feel if,
if you feel comfortable you start to improve but if you are not comfortable
you cannot learn very well you cannot speak very well so it can be kind of you know hustle
it can you know restrict you from being really good without uh you know knowing your potential
you just because you are let's say I say you because I mean generally because people are
trying to be perfect so what happens they cannot really learn or improve that's why
