Hello, hello, everyone.
2
Welcome back to the Fearless English Podcast.
3
I am Mia.
4
And I am Leo.
5

12
We are talking about how to stop translating in your head.
13
We have 12 simple steps to help you think directly in English.
14
Oh, this is a very important topic, Mia.
15
So many listeners tell me, "Leo, I hear English, but my brain translates everything to my native language first.
16
It slows me down." If you feel this way, do not worry.
17
You are normal.
18
Today, we will train your brain together.
19
We sure will.
20
We have 12 easy steps for you today.

27
Thank you for subscribing.
28
Now relax your shoulders, take a deep breath, and let us start thinking in English.
29
Okay, Leo, let's start with step number one.
30
We call it the name game.
31
The name game?
32
Yes, Leo, the name game.
33
This is for simple nouns.
34
Many beginners think they need to think in full stories.
35
No, start with single words around you.
36
Yes, do not translate.
37
Just look at an object and say the English name directly in your mind.
38
Let's listen to a quick example.
39
I look at my desk.
40
I say in my mind, Book.
41
pen.
42
Laptop.
43
Wow, that is so easy.
44
Let's listen to that again, everyone.
45
Leo, please repeat those three simple words for our listeners.
46
Book.
47
pen.
48
Laptop.
49
See?
50
No translation.
51
Your eyes see the object, and your brain goes directly to the English word.
52
Let's discuss why this works.
53
When you name things in English, you cut out your native language completely.
54
You build a direct bridge from the object to the English word.
55
Exactly, Mia.
56
You explained that nicely.
57
Let's try a real -life dialogue now.
58
I'll point to things in our studio, and you name them instantly.
59
Are you ready?
60
I am ready.
61
Let's do it.
62
What do you see over there?
63
Chair?
64
window, phone.
65
Fantastic.
66
Please listen to that again, our fearless listeners.
67
Mia, please repeat those three simple words for our listeners.
68
Chair?
69
window, phone.
70
Wow, fantastic.
71
Look at that.
72
No big, scary grammar, just simple nouns.
73
You can practice this right now while you listen to us.
74
Look around your room, speak out loud, say it with Mia.
75
Chair Chair.
76
See?
77
You're thinking in English already!
78
Mia, now let's move to step number two.
79
Once your brain can name nouns, you need to add simple verbs.
80
These are action words.
81
Talk about what you are doing right now.
82
Oh, that's a great step, Leo.
83
How do we do that without translating?
84
Use the present continuous tense.
85
It describes actions happening now.
86
For example, do not think a big thought, just think, "I am drinking." I am walking.
87
I am reading.
88
Let's listen to a simple example of action thinking.
89
Imagine you are in the kitchen.
90
Leo, how do you think that?
91
I think I am pouring milk.
92
I am eating toast.
93
Let's listen to those action sentences one more time, everyone.
94
Listen carefully to Leo's clear voice.
95
I am pouring milk.
96
I am eating toast.
97
Let's discuss how to use this today.
98
When you do a simple action at home, say it in English in your head.
99
If you wash your hands, think, "I am washing my hands." No native language needed.
100
That's a great point, Mia.
101
You're connecting the physical action directly to the English words.
102
You're training your brain to think dynamically.
103
You're improving already.
104
Alright Leo, step number three is all about your inside world.
105
We call it "label your feelings." We use simple adjectives.
106
Oh, I love this step, Mia.
107
How does it work?
108
Instead of translating how you feel, connect the emotion directly to an English adjective.
109
When you wake up, check your energy.
110
Think, "I am tired," or "I am happy." That's so smart.
111
Let's listen to an example of feeling thinking.
112
Imagine you just finished a long walk.
113
I am hot.
114
I am thirsty.
115
Let's listen to that one more time, nice and clear.
116
I am hot.
117
I am thirsty.
118
Let's discuss this.
119
Notice how short those sentences are.
120
Two words: "I am hot." This is perfect for beginners.
121
Your brain can process two words instantly without translating.
122
Exactly, Leo.
123
You don't need a huge vocabulary to express an emotion.
124
Keep it basic.
125
Keep it real.
126
Good job, listeners.
127
Step number four is a practical trick: change your phone language to English.
128
Mia, why is this a superpower for thinking in English?
129
Oh, it's amazing, Leo.
130
We look at our phones hundreds of times a day.
131
When your phone is in English, your brain is forced to see English words constantly.
132
Words like settings, calendar, clock, messages.
133
Yes, you don't have time to translate because you know where the buttons are anyway.
134
Your brain naturally connects the English word to the button icon.
135
Let's listen to a quick real -life dialogue about using a phone.
136
Leo, what time is your meeting?
137
Let me check my calendar app.
138
Ah, it's at 3 o 'clock.
139
Let's listen to Leo's phrase again, listeners.
140
Pay attention to the phone word.
141
Let me check my calendar app.
142
See?
143
By using your phone in English, words like "calendar" become natural.
144
You stop translating them because you see them every single hour.
145
Try it today, everyone.
146
It's a tiny step with huge results.
147
Let's move to step number five.
148
Think in simple questions.
149
When we're alone, we often ask ourselves questions in our native language.
150
For example, "Where are my keys?" that to English.
151
Oh, that's a wonderful technique, Leo.
152
Let's listen to some easy questions we can ask ourselves inside our minds.
153
What is the time?
154
Where is my bag?
155
What should I wear?
156
Let's listen to those three question examples nice and slow.
157
What is the time?
158
Where is my bag?
159
What should I wear?
160
Let's discuss this.
161
These are questions you say to yourself every single day.
162
If you practice asking them in English inside your head, it becomes a habit.
163
Your brain starts searching for the answer in English, too.
164
That's a great question some students might ask.
165
Does this really stop translation?
166
Yes, because questions require an immediate reaction.
167
Your brain doesn't have time to translate the question and find the answer.
168
It just acts in English.
169
Step number six is very fun, Leo.
170
We call it the "guess the word" game.
171
Sometimes you want to think about something, but you don't know the exact English word.
172
Shy or nervous learners often stop completely and open a translator dictionary.
173
Don't do that.
174
Yes, opening a dictionary breaks your English thinking stream.
175
Instead, use simple words to describe the missing word inside your head.
176
Let's listen to an example.
177
Imagine you forget the word for microwave.
178
I want hot food.
179
I need the… the little fast cooking box.
180
I love that.
181
Let's listen to Mia's description one more time, everyone.
182
I want hot food.
183
I need the.. the little fast cooking box.
184
Let's discuss this trick.
185
By describing the object with simple words like "fast cooking box," you keep your brain working 100 % in English.
186
You don't stop to translate.
187
Later, when you have time, you can find the real word.
188
But in the moment, you keep thinking in English.
189
That's a great job, Leo.
190
This builds incredible mental flexibility.
191
You are doing amazing, listeners.
192
Alright, step number seven is very sweet and warm.
193
Talk to your pets or your plants in English.
194
Mia, do you talk to your plants?
195
Yes, I do, Leo.
196
I have a small green plant on my window.
197
I speak to it out loud in simple English.
198
Pets and plants are the best listeners because they never correct your grammar.
199
Exactly.
200
There's zero pressure.
201
Let's listen to a real example of speaking to a pet dog.
202
Good boy, Max.
203
Are you hungry?
204
Let's go to the park.
205
Let's listen to that friendly pet dialogue one more time.
206
Good boy, Max.
207
Are you hungry?
208
Let us go to the park.
209
Let us discuss this.
210
When you speak casually to a pet or a plant, your brain relaxes.
211
When you are relaxed, translation stops naturally.
212
Your words flow directly from your feelings.
213
That is so true, Leo.
214
Try it tonight with your cat, your dog, or even a flower on your desk.
215
Just say, "You look beautiful today." It works wonders.
216
Step number eight is a daily habit.
217
We call it the five -minute English bedtime routine.
218
Before you close your eyes to sleep, review your day using short English sentences in your mind.
219
Oh, this is an excellent routine, Mia.
220
Let us listen to how a simple bedtime review sounds.
221
Today was a good day.
222
I worked hard.
223
I ate a tasty dinner.
224
Now I am sleepy.
225
Let us listen to that peaceful review one more time, listeners.
226
Notice the basic grammar.
227
Today was a good day.
228
I worked hard.
229
I ate a tasty dinner.
230
Now I am sleepy.
231
Let us discuss why this helps.
232
At night, your brain processes everything you did.
233
By thinking these simple sentences right before sleep, you are telling your brain that English is important.
234
It helps your mind process the language even while you rest.
235
That is a great point, Leo.
236
It's like a gentle cool -down exercise for your English brain.
237
You're improving already.
238
Step number nine is is a huge secret for fluency.
239
Memorize full phrases, not just single words.
240
When you learn single words, your brain has to puzzle them together using grammar rules.
241
That forces you to translate.
242
Yes, but when you memorize a full phrase, you can use it instantly like a single block.
243
Let's listen to an example.
244
Imagine you want to ask for the price of something.
245
Don't build the sentence word by word, just use the block.
246
How much is this?
247
Let us listen to that block phrase one more time, everyone.
248
How much is this?
249
Let us discuss this.
250
See, if you memorize "how much is this" as one complete sound, your brain doesn't translate.
251
You don't think about nouns or verbs.
252
You just drop the phrase into the conversation.
253
It's fast, natural, and effortless.
254
Good job, Mia.
255
Another great block phrase is "have a nice day." You don't translate it, you just say it.
256
Learn phrases, not just individual words.
257
Step number 10 is about tools.
258
Use an English -to -English dictionary made for beginners.
259
Many students use a translation dictionary.
260
They look up an English word and see their native language.
261
This keeps translation alive in your mind.
262
Oh, I agree completely, Mia.
263
A beginner's English dictionary uses very simple words to explain other words.
264
It keeps your mind inside the English zone.
265
Let us listen to an example of an English -only definition for the word "beautiful." Beautiful means very nice to look at.
266
Let us listen to that simple definition one more time, everyone.
267
Beautiful means very nice to look at.
268
Let us discuss this.
269
See?
270
Every word in that definition is simple: very, nice, to, look, @.
271
You don't need your native language to understand what beautiful means.
272
This prevents your brain from switching back and forth between two languages.
273
It's a fantastic habit.
274
We're almost there.
275
Step number 11 is immersion with simple audio.
276
Listen to podcasts like this one or watch easy English dialogues constantly.
277
Yes, when you feed your brain a large amount of clear, slow English, your brain begins to adopt the language.
278
It starts to repeat the rhythm naturally inside your thoughts.
279
Let us show our listeners how a repetitive dialogue helps.
280
Leo, copy me.
281
I love my cozy home.
282
I love my cozy home.
283
Let us listen to it one more time.
284
Listen, discuss, repeat.
285
I love my cozy home.
286
I love my cozy home.
287
Now, dear listener, you say it with us.
288
Connect with the sentence, I love my cozy home.
289
Fantastic!
290
By listening and repeating simple, clear dialogues, you are feeding your brain high -quality English fuel.
291
The translation habit will start to fade because the real phrases are living in your ears.
292
Finally, step number 12.
293
Celebrate the small wins and be patient with your brain.
294
Training your mind to think in a new language takes time, it does not happen overnight.
295
That is a great lesson, Mia.
296
If you think even one sentence in English today without translating, that is a huge victory.
297
Smile, and say to yourself, Good job.
298
Exactly, Leo.
299
Let us listen to an encouraging phrase together.
300
Every small step brings me closer to fluency.
301
Let us listen to that beautiful thought one more time, everyone.
302
Every small step brings me closer to fluency.
303
Let us discuss this mindset.
304
When you encourage yourself, your brain releases happy chemicals.
305
This makes learning much easier and faster.
306
Don't be angry if you translate sometimes.
307
Just keep going.
308
You are doing an awesome job.
309
Wow, time flies when we are training our brains.
310
We are nearing the end of our podcast episode today.
311
We covered 12 wonderful steps to help you stop translating in your head and start thinking in English.
312
Let us do a quick recap of the key points so you can remember them easily.
313
Great idea, Mia.
314
First, we played the name game for nouns and added simple verbs for actions happening now.
315
Third, we learned to label our feelings with easy adjectives.
316
And fourth, we suggested changing your phone language to English.
317
Fifth, we practiced thinking in simple questions.
318
And sixth, we used the guess the word game to describe objects when we forget words.
319
Seventh, we talked to our pets or plants, and eighth, we created a five -minute bedtime review routine.
320
Ninth, we memorized complete block phrases, and tenth, we used an English -only beginner dictionary.
321
And finally, we listened to simple dialogues constantly and reminded ourselves to celebrate every small win with patience.
322
What an incredible journey today, Mia.
323
I'm so proud of everyone who stayed with us until the very end.
324
You are taking real control of your learning process.
325
Yes, good job, everyone.
326
You are doing fantastic.
327
Now we want to hear from you.
328
We love reading your comments.
329
It makes us feel so connected to you.
330
Now I have a question for you, our fearless listeners.
331
Let's practice step number one and step number three together.
332
Look around you right now and tell us in the comments using short, simple sentences, what is one object you see near you and how do you feel right now?
333
For example, you can write, "I see a book." I feel happy.
334
I can't wait to read their answers, Leo.
335
Thank you so much for watching and practicing with us today.
336
Don't forget to click that like button and share this episode with a friend who wants to stop translating in their head.
337
Keep practicing, keep smiling, and believe in yourself.
338
You can think in English.
339
We'll see you in another Fearless Tips episode.
340
Goodbye everyone, have a wonderful fearless day.

Почему полезно практиковать разговор с помощью этого видео?

Практика разговорного английского с помощью видео, как это, предоставляет уникальную возможность быстро развить ваши навыки общения и уверенности. Наблюдая за тем, как профессиональные лекторы, такие как Мия и Лео, обсуждают темы, вы обучаетесь не только новым словам, но и тому, как использовать их в реальных ситуациях. Особенно важно избавиться от привычки переводить слова на родной язык в голове. Это замедляет вас и мешает свободному общению. Практика разговорного английского через shadowspeak помогает вам мыслить на английском, а не переводить, что значительно ускоряет процесс обучения.

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

  • Императивные предложения: В видео используется много команд, например, "посмотрите на объекты". Это помогает понять, как давать указания и предлагать действия.
  • Список существительных: Мия и Лео приводят простые примеры, такие как "книга", "ручка", "ноутбук". Это позволяет начинающим запоминать слова в контексте.
  • Настоящее время: Использование настоящего времени в разговоре позволяет вам описывать текущие действия и объекты вокруг вас, что является основным элементом для построения предложений.

Распространенные трудности произношения

В процессе прослушивания видео обратите внимание на несколько слов и выражений, которые могут быть трудными для произношения. Например, слова "notebook" и "pen" важно произносить четко, так как их часто путают или неправильно акцентируют. Эти слова часто встречаются в повседневной жизни, и практика с помощью видео поможет вам избавиться от акцента и произносить их более естественно. Использование shadowing методов, например, повторение за собеседником, сильно улучшит ваше произношение и уверенность.

Итак, не упустите возможность использовать видео для повышения своих навыков. Практикуйте shadowing английский для достижения максимальных результатов в изучении языка!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
