we're doing it again building your skill
to think in english
so you can join the conversation with
confidence stop
translating in your head and be more
effective in communication
if you feel like it takes too long to
express yourself in english or you feel
nervous
speaking english this video is for you
thinking in english and getting your
mind to go to english quickly
is a skill you can build on in today's
video we're working with flash cards to
focus on words
we're going to do nouns verbs and
adjectives
and we're going to build the english
image association
skipping your native language there
might be some words you don't know
great then you get to learn new
vocabulary too
as always if you like this video or you
learned something new please
like and subscribe with notifications it
really helps
in doing this we want to use words you
already know
learning vocabulary is different this is
a skill where we're building the skill
to think in english
first building those pathways in your
brain so
hopefully many of these words will be
words that you already know
before you start the exercise say to
your brain we're going to think only in
english
you'll see a prompt and you'll think the
word if you want to say it out loud
go ahead if you don't know the word
don't worry
we're going to go over everything at the
end of the video
first you'll see a picture with
different sections highlighted
like this
and when you see it you'll think in your
head wing
then something else will be highlighted
and each time you see a different
highlight
think the english word if you don't know
it don't worry just wait for the next
one
let's keep going with that image
then you'll see this
and you'll have three seconds to come up
with a verb to describe
anything that's happening in the picture
any verb any action that's happening
and then you'll see this
and you'll have three seconds to name an
adjective
an adverb would be fine too then at the
end we'll go over
everything like this wing
or maybe you just said foot
flying or landing
white or maybe you said graceful i'll
suggest
verbs and adjectives that you could have
said but of course
you may have come up with something
totally different from what i say
and that's okay there are no wrong
answers here if what you're saying
describes anything that's happening in
the picture now if you saw that image
and you said something like
drinking coke then that doesn't actually
describe what's happening but hey
if your mind said that in english that's
something
we're going to move pretty quickly so
just relax
open up your mind and let the english
come in
remember you want to direct your mind to
go to the english word first
you should know most of these words
already
we're building the skill of recall we're
going to do a bunch of pictures
and then we'll go over all the words

checking in on you how are you doing

to reset
our minds clear it out think english

[Music]
great were the verbs and adjectives
harder

see and more about making a decision
about what to say that's definitely a
little bit more challenging
