Most students translate a lot when learning English instead of thinking in English.

Today's challenge will help you change that habit.

Hello, it's Keith from the Keith Speaking Academy.

Today, I will show you how to start thinking in English.

From A1 level right up to C2 level.

Different strategies for different levels.

I challenge you to try this for the next few days and let me know how it goes.

Let's begin.

A1 beginner.

Hello.

How are you?

Now, look at something and say it in your head.

A cup.

a pen a phone

use adjectives a black pen a nice cup a blue phone

imagine you are a child Everything is amazing.

Wow, a beautiful cup.

Water, I'm thirsty.

Wow, delicious.

This is good at home,

alone, and when you are waiting and bored.

In the bank, in the shop, in the office.

Try it.

Next, A2 beginners.

Hi, are you good?

OK, you describe every action,

doing words, in your head.

I'm walking.

I'm stretching.

I'm rolling my shoulders I'm taking a cup I'm drinking I'm putting the cup down

Okay, imagine you are a YouTube influencer recording everything in your head

B1 students, intermediate.

Okay.

How's it going?

Great.

Now for you, in the morning,

describe in your head your day ahead,

what you're going to do.

Ask yourself, what am I going to do?

First thing in the morning,

in bed, in the shower, on the toilet.

Think, what am I going to do?

I'm going to work after breakfast.

I've got a meeting with Barry.

We might have lunch together.

Oh, I've got the dentist in the afternoon.

Okay.

In the evening, in bed,

in the shower, on the toilet,

describe in your head what you did.

I went to work in the morning.

I had a meeting with Barry.

We didn't go for lunch in the end.

And then, oh, I went to the dentist.

Got it.

That's it.

And here's a tip for you.

Try mumbling.

Mumbling is speaking quietly, very little.

A bit like this, you know,

when you're thinking, oh, what am I going to do today?

Yeah, I'll do that.

I'll go to the bed.

I'll do that.

Oh yeah, and then I'll add one.

So, as well as thinking, you can mumble.

Because mumbling activates your mouth muscles.

You'll notice your thinking voice is more fluent than your spoken voice.

Mumbling can help.

Let's move on.

Now, this video is a challenge to you to get thinking in English.

Remember, translating is useful sometimes, but not too much.

If you're always translating when you're speaking,

it affects your fluency and you're going to be making more mistakes, basically.

Thinking in English helps fluency, helps your overall English.

If you want to do the challenge and carry on practicing, download the PDF.

It gives you a summary of all of these tips by level and lots more tips to get you thinking in English.

Download that.

For the moment, though.

Oh, the link's in the description.

For the moment, let's get to the next level,

which I think is B2.

Right, B2.

Upper intermediate.

How are you doing?

So for you, I want you to do some silent reading.

A book, newspaper, blog post.

As you read, reflect.

Think about what you are reading.

And reflect in your head.

Reading is really good because it's passive.

So you're already in your head and you're having like a dialogue in your head with the author, right?

Who wrote it.

As you're reading, imagine it's a novel or a book, whatever.

You can think about your opinion.

If you agree or disagree, what would you do?

Anything.

And at the end, when you finish, summarize in your head.

Okay?

100

It might look like this.

101

Oh, that's interesting.

102

Oh yeah, that's true.

103

That happens to me too.

104

Oh no, don't.

105

Are you crazy?

106

Don't go down to the cellar.

107

So this guy gets home late.

108

It's dark.

109

He drops his key.

110

He hears a noise and he goes down to the cellar to investigate.

111

And there you have it.

112

Now, reading is great.

113

equally good is listening to a podcast

114

because again it's passive you're having this dialogue in your head

115

with the speaker in the podcast you can do the same

116

thing you can be giving your thinking of your opinion do you agree what would you do

117

and then at the end of the podcast summarize

118

so either silent reading or listening to a podcast that is your challenge to think in English

119

A quick word of warning and a tip.

120

Keep it as simple as possible, your thinking.

121

It's very easy to start thinking about,

122

oh, what does that word mean?

123

Vocabulary.

124

Oh, I'll just check.

125

Forget about vocabulary and grammar.

126

Focus on fluent thinking.

127

Just getting your ideas.

128

It's about thinking.

129

It's not about vocabulary.

130

So kind of avoid the dictionary for this activity.

131

Okay, that's it.

132

Right, C1, advanced learners.

133

Sup?

134

So your challenge is to do some dubbing.

135

I want you to dub a clip of a film or a TV series.

136

For some people watching may not know,

137

So dubbing is where you put another voice on top of a film clip.

138

For example, in Spain, you can watch an English film,

139

but they put a Spanish voice on top so people understand.

140

That's dubbing.

141

So you are going to be the dubbing artist.

142

You're going to watch something for a minute or two, mute it.

143

So it doesn't matter on the language because you're muting it.

144

But then you imagine in your head and you think and you make up the dialogue.

145

It can be quite fun and interesting.

146

You can say anything, but try and sync your voice with their voice.

147

Do it once for about a minute.

148

Then with the same program, do it again.

149

Do it several times and try and do it for a longer period each time.

150

All the time, not speaking,

151

just thinking the dialogue in your head.

152

Try it out.

153

It might look something like this.

154

There you go.

155

Try it out.

156

Let me know in the comments what film or TV series you used for your dubbing and how it went.

157

OK, finally, C2, we've arrived.

158

Proficient learners.

159

All right.

160

Good.

161

So, thank you for waiting to getting here.

162

Your challenge is this.

163

I want you to listen to some music without words or lyrics.

164

So it could be classical music,

165

meditation music, that kind of loathy style music.

166

OK, listen to the music and then one, think of a problem.

167

Two, think of how you feel about the problem.

168

Three, think of solutions to the problem.

169

OK, one problem, two, feeling, three, solution.

170

The key question for you is how can I handle this?

171

and that's what you're thinking.

172

Do it for two or three minutes and see how it goes.

173

It might look something like this.

174

The problem.

175

This morning I found an empty cigarette packet in the garden next to the neighbour's wall.

176

He smokes like a chimney.

177

Maybe he threw it into my garden.

178

The feeling, I feel a bit frustrated and annoyed about it.

179

He may have done it intentionally or maybe without thinking.

180

Solutions.

181

I could just pick it up and put it in the bin.

182

I could go round and ask him if it's his.

183

I could spy on him and check if it's the same brand.

184

or I could just throw it over the wall back into his garden.

185

I'll think more about it.

186

That's it for C2 learners.

187

Let me know in the comments what music you chose to do this and how it went.

188

That's it.

189

So are you going to take the Think in English challenge?

190

Here's what you need to do.

191

First, download the PDF.

192

There are actually three activities per level.

193

I've put in extra activities for you.

194

Okay, make it more interesting.

195

Second, decide your level and choose one activity.

196

Third, practice it just five to ten minutes a day over seven days and see how it goes.

197

Most importantly, let us know how it went.

198

You can post your feeling,

199

your results on hashtag ThinkInEnglishChallenge.

200

on Instagram or Facebook.

201

So, are you ready to take the challenge?

202

Whatever your level, have a go.

203

204

205

I look forward to seeing you very, very soon.

206

Take care.

207

Bye-bye.

208

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।

आपके समर्थन के कारण ShadowingEnglish 100% मुफ्त है। सर्वर और AI की लागत अधिक है — आपकी कॉफी हमें आगे बढ़ने में मदद करती है! 🙏
