1
Hi everyone and welcome to the first episode of basic English with...
2
Sarah and Josh.
3
I'm Josh.
4
I'm very, very happy to be here with you today.
5
And I'm Sarah.
6
In this podcast, Josh and I speak very,
7
very slowly because this podcast is for beginner English learners.
8
Yes, very easy English.
9
So, Today's topic is how to think.
10
in English you even if you are a beginner.
11
This is something many learners really want.
12
Many learners say, I want to speak faster.
13
Or, I don't want to translate in my head all the time.
14
Yes, because translating in your head can make speaking slow.
15
First, you think in your first language.
16
Then you try to find the English words.
17
Then you check the grammar.
18
And finally, you speak. So...
19
That is a lot of work for your brain.
20
and No wonder speaking feels so difficult sometimes.
21
Exactly.
22
So today we want to help you make English feel more natural.
23
We want to show you how to begin thinking directly in English.
24
And don't worry, we will keep everything simple.
25
You do not need advanced English to start thinking in English.
26
Yes, that is right!
27
So, let's begin with an important idea.
28
Thinking in English does not mean thinking about big ideas in English.
29
You do not need to think about history, science, business, or philosophy.
30
Yes, at the beginning, thinking in English can be very simple.
31
It can be about your morning.
32
It can be about your food.
33
It can be about your clothes.
34
It can be about your room.
35
For example: When you wake up, you can think: I'm awake.
36
You can think, I'm still tired.
37
I need to get up.
38
You can think...
39
Where is my phone?
40
Yes, these sentences are short, but they are useful.
41
Short sentences are powerful.
42
Simple English is powerful.
43
You are not trying to impress anyone.
44
Okay, let me explain that.
45
To impress someone means to make someone think you are good or clever.
46
Yes.
47
So you're not trying to impress anyone.
48
You are only and only trying to train your brain.
49
That is a very important point.
50
Thinking in English is brain training.
51
You are teaching your brain to connect English with real...
52
Life.
53
Exactly.
54
Many learners only use English in class, or they only use English when they study grammar.
55
But English should not only live in a book.
56
English should live in your day.
57
English should live in your kitchen English should live in your
58
bedroom English should live in your walk to work English should live in your small thoughts so Josh
59
What is the first step for thinking in English?
60
That is a very good question, Sarah.
61
The first step is naming things around you.
62
Look around your room.
63
Name what you can see.
64
That sounds very easy.
65
Yes, and easy is good.
66
You can think, "This is a table." That is a chair.
67
My phone is on the desk.
68
There is a cup near me.
69
And this is a great beginning.
70
You are not making long sentences.
71
You are just connecting English words to real objects.
72
That is easy.
73
Exactly.
74
After that, you can describe simple actions like...
75
I'm sitting.
76
I'm listening.
77
I'm drinking water.
78
I'm looking at my phone.
79
These are simple actions.
80
But they happen every day.
81
And because they happen every day, you can practice them every day.
82
That is the secret!
83
Don't wait for a special time to practice English.
84
Use normal moments.
85
Normal moments are perfect for English practice.
86
Brushing your teeth is...
87
English practice Making tea is English practice.
88
Walking outside is English practice.
89
Waiting for the bus is English practice.
90
Great!
91
Now let's talk about daily narration.
92
So, what do you mean by daily narration, Josh?
93
Daily narration means you describe what you are doing.
94
You can do this.
95
in your head.
96
Or you can say it quietly, or out loud.
97
For example, when you are making breakfast, you can think in English.
98
I'm in the kitchen.
99
I'm making breakfast.
100
I'm opening the fridge.
101
I'm taking out some eggs.
102
I'm making a cup of tea.
103
You can also add feelings, like...
104
I'm hungry.
105
I feel sleepy.
106
This smells good.
107
This kind of practice is simple but very effective.
108
You are using English with real actions.
109
Your brain starts to understand that English is...
110
not just a school subject.
111
English becomes part of your life.
112
And when English becomes part of your life, speaking becomes a lot easier.
113
You do not need to search for every single word.
114
Some words come faster because you have used them before.
115
"Yes," your brain says.
116
Oh.
117
I know this sentence.
118
I have practiced this before.
119
I can use it now.
120
Another important idea is to use easy English when you don't know a word.
121
What do you mean by that?
122
Imagine you want to say "kettle." but you don't remember the word.
123
A kettle is the thing we use to boil water.
124
But maybe the word does not come to your mind.
125
That happens to everyone.
126
Yes, it does happen to everyone.
127
So do not stop.
128
Use easy words.
129
You can think, I need the thing for hot water.
130
That is not perfect, but it works.
131
And it keeps your brain in English.
132
Exactly.
133
Many learners stop when they don't know one word.
134
But you don't need to stop.
135
You can explain the idea with simple words.
136
For example, maybe you don't know the word umbrella.
137
You can think: I need the thing for rain.
138
Maybe you don't know the word wallet.
139
You can think.
140
I need the small thing with my money.
141
Wow!
142
This is a very useful skill, Josh!
143
Native speakers do this too sometimes.
144
When we forget a word, we explain it another way.
145
Yes!
146
And I love that!
147
Continuous English.
148
Keep the English moving.
149
Now let's talk about questions.
150
Questions are very useful for thinking in English.
151
Yes.
152
Questions make your brain active.
153
They help you create small conversations in your mind.
154
For example: You can ask yourself: What am I doing now?
155
Then you can answer: I'm listening to a podcast.
156
You can ask.
157
"How do I feel?" Then you can answer: I feel calm.
158
You can ask.
159
What do I need to do next?
160
Then you can answer: I need to check my messages.
161
And this is like a small conversation with yourself.
162
And it is great practice for real conversations.
163
You can practice these questions many times a day.
164
In the morning, ask, "What do I need today?" Yes, I know.
165
Talking to yourself sounds strange.
166
In the afternoon, ask...
167
Am I tired?
168
In the evening, ask: What did I do today?
169
and keep your answers simple.
170
Very simple.
171
You can say, "I need my bag." Or you can say: Yes, I'm a little tired.
172
That's it!
173
Nothing difficult.
174
Okay, now let's talk about a common problem.
175
Many learners want to think in perfect English.
176
They want every single sentence to be correct.
177
But this can create stress.
178
And stress can make speaking harder.
179
When you worry too much, your brain becomes slow.
180
So when you practice thinking in English, do not judge every sentence.
181
Do not stop every five seconds to check grammar.
182
Just keep going.
183
You can fix grammar later First, build the habit.
184
First, make English feel normal.
185
For example, maybe you think Yesterday I go shopping.
186
I'm going to go ahead and get it.
187
Of course, the correct sentence is, yesterday I went shopping.
188
But during thinking practice, don't panic.
189
Notice it Gently.
190
Then...
191
Continue.
192
Yes, and Be kind to yourself.
193
You are learning.
194
Mistakes are part of learning Mistakes mean your brain is trying, trying really hard.
195
That is very true.
196
Your brain needs practice, not pressure.
197
Now, let's give our listeners a simple daily routine.
198
Great idea!
199
Let's do that!
200
In the morning, describe your actions.
201
Think I'm waking up.
202
I'm getting out of bed.
203
I'm washing my face.
204
I'm making coffee.
205
I'm getting ready.
206
Now, in the afternoon, ask yourself simple questions.
207
What am I doing?
208
What do I need?
209
How do I feel?
210
What is my next task?
211
That is a great routine!
212
As you practice, remember, you don't need one hour.
213
Five minutes is enough at the beginning.
214
One small habit every day is a lot better than one big practice once a month.
215
Please don't forget that thinking in English is a habit.
216
At first, it feels strange.
217
Then it feels easier.
218
Later, it starts to feel natural.
219
Thank you so much for listening to Basic English with Josh and Sarah.
220
We hope this episode helped you feel more confident.
221
Bye for now!

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
