do you have problems thinking in English do you think it is impossible to think
in English so watch this video and learn three reasons why you can't think in
English 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 from Monday to Friday I have many different kinds of
English lessons to help you become a better and more confident English
speaker so consider subscribing because this is a very nice Channel you know
anyway first reason why you can't think in English is you study or have studied
English for a very long time in your native language yes my friends sorry
about that many English learners get too
comfortable studying English and getting explanations watching videos
about English and English grammar English lessons in their native
language as time goes by they realize they can't think in English or speak
English without constantly thinking in their native language and translating
every single time they have to speak English if you want to think in English
you will need to change your study habits and this is important because we
are never gonna be native English speakers okay thinking in English
doesn't come naturally to us so it is very important to to nourish this
practice and if you spend too much time studying English in your language you're
not gonna get the necessary exposure to the English language that's why you
probably get stuck many times or every time you need to do something in English
you think in your language first okay I'm not saying that by thinking in
English you will achieve "native English speaking" that's not gonna happen
we're always gonna make a mistake here or misunderstand something there and
it's okay but as you build up this skill of thinking in English you will begin to
remember words faster okay and the words will come more naturally to you and
consequently you will get less stuck so spend more time studying English in
English rather than studying English in your native language okay there's
nothing wrong with watching a teacher you enjoy from your country speaking in
your language talking about English but at some point you need to step up your
game and you need to spend more time with
English than with your native language okay
reason number two you translate words instead of trying to understand them
tell me something what is the first thing you do when you come across a word
you don't know A. do you look up the explanation in English of that word B. do
you look up the translation of that word C. you don't even bother just mind your
own business guys why am I asking you this I believe this will determine how
long it is going to take you to think in English why because the less contact you
have with the English language the more difficult it'll be to think in English
and to speak English okay now why am I am I a firm believer that thinking in
English can help you you speak English more clearly and more
quickly because everything happens in the brain and when you are able to
master your ideas mentally they can come out
okay so mental practice will definitely help you speak more clearly because
everything starts in the mind okay so the more associations you have with your
language the more difficult it will be for you to interact with English and
another thing that happens is you end up having this collection of
words you know in your language that you know the translation of but by the time
you have to use those words you can't because these words are in your language
and you haven't figured out how to use them in English because you didn't get
access to explanations of those words and this practice of understanding
explanations will help you speak more clearly because it's better to
understand than to just know translations okay this is a kind of
practice that I always do with my students with my private students and
with my students in the Academy I don't give them translations especially
because I have people from all over the world in my online English Program but
rather I give them explanations I encourage them to find explanations to
the words and come up with examples in English using those words that is a much
more productive exercise that will stimulate English and will not encourage
translation so that you don't get stuck as much during conversations in English
okay now before I move on to reason number three I'd like to ask you to
subscribe to my channel if you haven't already from Monday to Friday I have
many different kinds of English lessons and I'm sure they're definitely going to
help you and if you are already subscribed thank you so much make sure
to share this lesson with your friends on your social media now to reason
number three you started trying to think in English but unfortunately you were
inconsistent and you stopped practicing way too soon has this happened to you
have you tried thinking in English but gave up along the way hmm let me know
here in the comments I love when you guys participate guys thinking in
English as I said during this video is not a natural process you're not gonna
wake up one beautiful morning feeling inspired and thinking in English
just naturally no it's not natural it's a it's a skill that you will need to
master and to master a skill to develop a skill you will need to do this practice for
a period of time for quite a long period of time actually okay this is not
an overnight process don't expect to be thinking after a month of practice this
is an ongoing process this is something that you need to do on a continuous
basis if you want to build up this ability of thinking in English and
consequently speaking English more easily
okay so just spending a few weeks or even a few months trying to think in
English that's just the beginning of the process okay in my opinion this is this
is something that you never stop doing that you should never stop doing that's
why many English learners end up not thinking in English because they give it
a try they give it a go but after two three weeks when they don't feel
like oh my god nothing's happening gee they quit they quit they stop and that's
not how it should go thinking in English should be an ongoing process an ongoing
practice if you want to improve your English skills and speak English more
clearly anyway my friends I hope you enjoyed this lesson make sure to hit
