hey student watch this video and learn how to think in English with three
very nice strategies coming up hey friends teacher Prix here to help you
talk to anyone anywhere anytime in English first of all thank you so much
for joining me on another English lesson if it's your first time here consider
subscribing because from Monday to Friday
I post all kinds of English lessons because I want to help you become a
better and more confident English speaker now before I tell you the three
strategies why is it so difficult to think in English well guys let me be
completely honest with you it is not a natural process English is not your
native language consequently it is very difficult to induce your brain to think
in English because it's not natural it doesn't come automatically to non-native
speakers like you and me that being said is it possible to learn how to think in
English can i master this ability and think in English speak a little faster
when I have to talk to native speakers or non-native speakers in English yes
this is a skill that you can improve that you can master and you can become
better at and that's what the three strategies I'm going to show you here in
this lesson will do for you they will help you achieve this level where you can
think in English you can have an internal conversation in English because
by doing this it'll be easier for you to speak in English when you need to the
first strategy is use what you know hmm Teacher Prix are you serious let me
explain as I said this is not a natural process so you will need to start
somewhere you will not start by having long two-hour moments where you speak
English in your mind that's not gonna happen in fact it's
going to be very tiring in the beginning when I say use what you know I'm trying
to tell you to build this ability gradually with the information you
already know in English so start by very simple conversations very basic
things start with very short practices 5 minutes 10 minutes if five minutes if
this is too much for you one minute two minutes and then you will gradually
build up this ability so start with what you're know means start from the
basic so if you know how to do your introduction and you can do that well
alright practice that here awesome finish that and you became comfortable
with that you remembered the words very easily then you go to the next level
explaining your last weekend then as that becomes a little easier then you
can go to the next level and so on you will see that for example with the last
weekend many students and many of you will get stuck with verbs verbs in the
past you will not remember so ha you will begin to identify the moments when
it's difficult for you to think in English and if it's difficult for you to
think it is difficult for you to talk so this ability of thinking in English is
much more useful than you can imagine because it'll help you prepare yourself
for real-life conversations because if you don't know here when you're calm
alone in a private space thinking in English when you have to do this in the
real world it'll be more difficult because then you have pressure then you
will have emotions so this is the preparation that's why I start with this
first strategy use what you know and you will be surprised because you will get
stuck many times because there will be many things you won't know
and that's exactly why you're doing this to find out the things that are easy for
you and the things that are not okay the second strategy which I believe is the
most difficult for English learners to understand yes discipline be consistent
with your practice you know I I'm talking about this with experience based
on several clients from all over the world who have begun to practice
thinking in English but after some time they stopped it and when they start they
usually give me very positive feedback like teacher Prix I did a really good
job I started and at first it was difficult
but now I'm learning and I was driving and I was thinking a little bit and I
was so proud of myself nice two weeks later are you thinking in English ah
teacher I didn't have time I was so busy this is too difficult I will never
think in English discipline consistency you will only learn to think in English
if you are always telling your brain to think in English remember in the at
the beginning of this video where I told you it is not a natural process
therefore if it's not a natural process you have to be constantly reminding your
brain come on it's thinking time let's think yeah yeah I know it sucks we got
to do it Teacher Prix said we should you have to give it time you have to be
consistent otherwise it's not going to work because this is not an automatic
process and if we think about it this works with everything in English if you
don't consistently study if you don't consistently review things you're not
going to learn the same happens with thinking in English this is an exercise
you should do every day even if it's just for five minutes five minutes are
better than zero minutes okay so if you consistently do this every day
think about the patterns the mistakes you make you know the moments when you
get stuck and practicing looking for the words you
didn't know when studying that you will get better there's no other way okay the
only way for you is progress if you do this if you follow this consistently
when I was a student many years ago I did not think in English I only began to
think in English I think that I changed my mentality when I moved to Boston
that's when I started to think about thinking in English and when I started I
remember that it was not so easy for me and I was a good speaker, I was a teacher
for God's sake but I didn't have this habit of thinking in English
consequently it was difficult for me too but as I kept going and kept practicing
it got easier it took time but it happened okay it doesn't matter what
your level is if you practice from day one you will improve and hey if you're
enjoying this lesson share it with your friends there are many people who will
benefit from this lesson so I will really appreciate it if you share this lesson
on your social media whatsapp groups Facebook because this
really helps the channel grow but it's not just that you're helping other
people too okay the final strategy that I have for you and this strategy
works really well for those people who don't have that creativity you know if
it's really hard for you to hmm play with your mind imagine things I get
it this is difficult for some people so my recommendation is if imagining is
hard if creating is hard answer questions okay specific questions but
teacher it's hard for me to imagine imagine imagining questions I don't know how
to do that you don't need to know how to do that I'll help you I will leave a
recommendation of a website this is not my website but I really really really
like this website and I always recommend it to my students in this website you will
find a series of subjects lots and lots of topics in English every time you
click on a subject you will be directed to that
page where you will find five six seven ten questions and bazinga read the
question and think about the answer do it mentally so if it's difficult for you
to do freestyle thinking you cannot focus it's difficult for you to just sit
down and imagine and think in English I get it it's not such an easy process for
some people so if you condition your brain to answer questions it'll be easier
and if you don't know how to ask questions it's okay I'm leaving the
recommendation here in the descriptions where you can find a very nice website
with lots of questions lots of questions about all kinds of subjects all you have
to do is read the question and think other than that my friends I have a
question for you how often do you try to think in English is it easy or difficult
for you let me know in the comments and if possible share this lesson with your
friends thank you so much and I'll see you next time bye
