Hello everyone.
2
In today's episode, we are going to talk about something very simple, but very powerful.
3
How to think in English.
4
This is a problem that many learners have.
5
Even if your life is busy, even if you feel shy, even if you don't live in an English-speaking country,
6
you can still learn to think in English step by step.
7
Many people believe that they must move to the UK or the US to learn English well.
8
But this is not true.
9
You don't need to live in London.
10
You don't need a native speaker next to you all the time.
11
And you don't need to study for many hours every night.
12
What you really need are small and smart steps.
13
Steps that are easy to repeat every day.
14
steps that fit into your daily life.
15
For example, speaking for one minute in the morning,
16
listening while you're walking, or thinking in English when you are alone.
17
These small habits may look simple, but over time they create real change.
18
If you live in a country where people speak English every day, you will hear it often.
19
You will use it often.
20
So slowly, English becomes part of your thinking.
21
You don't need to translate anymore.
22
When you want to say something, the sentence comes directly in English.
23
But for most people, this is not their situation.
24
Most learners live in places where English is not used every day.
25
This may be your situation too.
26
Maybe you study by yourself.
27
Maybe you only use English when you watch videos or read something online.
28
And when you try to speak, you feel slow.
29
You think in your language first, then you try to change it into English.
30
This takes time.
31
And sometimes your sentence sounds strange because English has a different structure.
32
For example, in your language, you may say something like, I very like this.
33
But in English, we say, I really like this.
34
This is why translating in your head can make speaking difficult and unnatural.
35
Let me tell you the real problem.
36
You are not slow because your English is bad.
37
You are slow because you are translating.
38
Your brain is trying to do two things at the same time.
39
First, you think in your own language.
40
Then you try to change it into English.
41
This takes time.
42
And while you are thinking, the conversation is already moving.
43
That is why you feel nervous.
44
That is why you stop.
45
Think about this.
46
Someone asks you a simple question like, what did you do today?
47
You understand it.
48
But before you answer, your brain goes back to your language first.
49
Then you try to build the English sentence.
50
And in that moment, you feel stuck.
51
This is not because you are not good.
52
It is because your brain is working too hard.
53
But here is the good news.
54
When you stop translating, everything becomes faster and easier.
55
You can train your brain to think directly in English.
56
You don't need a special talent.
57
You just need practice and a simple method.
58
And today, I will show you how to do that.
59
Let's begin with one of the most powerful techniques, shadowing.
60
Maybe you have heard this word before, or maybe it is new to you.
61
Shadowing is a simple but very effective way to improve both your listening and your speaking at the same time.
62
Here is how it works.
63
You listen to someone speaking English, like a podcast, a video, or even this audio.
64
Then you repeat what you hear.
65
You don't stop to think.
66
You don't translate.
67
You don't check the dictionary.
68
You just listen and repeat like an echo.
69
Try to copy not only the words, but also the sound, the speed, and the rhythm.
70
This is very important because English is not just words.
71
It has a flow.
72
Let's try it together.
73
I will say a sentence and you repeat after me.
74
I want to speak English fluently.
75
Now you repeat.
76
I listen to English every day.
77
Now you repeat.
78
Shadowing helps me think and speak better.
79
Now you repeat. That is shadowing.
80
At first, it may feel strange.
81
You may feel like you are speaking too fast.
82
You may not understand every word, but that is okay.
83
Shadowing is not about understanding everything.
84
It is about training your brain and your mouth to work together.
85
Think about music.
86
When you learn a song, you don't understand every word at first, but you listen, you repeat, and slowly you can sing it.
87
Language works in a similar way.
88
If you practice shadowing every day, even for five minutes, you will start to notice something.
89
Your speaking becomes faster, your pronunciation becomes clearer, and your sentences start to feel more natural.
90
This is because your brain is getting used to English patterns.
91
Now, let's come back to the main question, how to think in English.
92
Many students tell me the same thing.
93
I want to improve, but I don't have time.
94
Or I feel nervous when I speak.
95
Or I don't know how to start.
96
And my answer is always simple.
97
You don't need a lot of time.
98
You don't need perfect grammar.
99
And you don't need to wait for the perfect moment.
100
You just need to begin.
101
Let's begin with one of the most powerful techniques techniques, shadowing.
102
Maybe you have heard this word before, or maybe it is new to you.
103
Shadowing is a simple but very effective way to improve both your listening and your speaking at the same time.
104
Here is how it works.
105
You listen to someone speaking English, like a podcast, a video, or even this audio.
106
Then you repeat what you hear.
107
You don't stop to think.
108
You don't translate.
109
You don't check the dictionary.
110
You just listen and repeat like an echo.
111
Try to copy not only the words, but also the sound, the speed, and the rhythm.
112
This is very important because English is not just words.
113
It has a flow.
114
For example, when you wake up, you can say in your mind, I feel tired today, or I have a busy day.
115
When you are eating, you can think, This food is good or I want more water.
116
These are simple sentences, but they help your brain switch to English.
117
Over time, you will stop translating.
118
You will start thinking directly.
119
So in this episode, I will share five simple and powerful ways
120
that you can use English every day in your real life.
121
No matter where you are, no matter how busy you are, let's begin.
122
Tip number one is simple but very powerful.
123
Think in English one thought at a time.
124
This is one of the biggest changes you can make when learning English.
125
Many people try to translate everything from their own language and this makes speaking slow and difficult.
126
So instead of translating full sentences, you start with small thoughts.
127
At the beginning, this will feel a little difficult.
128
Your brain will want to go back to your native language.
129
That is normal.
130
But you don't need to fight it too hard.
131
You just need to guide your thinking step by step.
132
Start with short and simple sentences in your mind.
133
For example, when you wake up, you can think, it's morning, I feel sleepy, I need a coffee.
134
When you walk outside, you can say in your mind, the sky is blue, the air is cold, I see a dog.
135
During your day, you can think, I am working, I feel tired, I want to go home.
136
These are very simple thoughts, but they are very important.
137
They help your brain connect directly to English.
138
You are not translating, you are thinking.
139
And that is the goal.
140
Later you can try to say these sentences out loud.
141
You don't need to speak loudly.
142
You can whisper or speak quietly.
143
It may feel strange at first, but it is like having a small conversation with yourself.
144
And this is one of the best ways to practice.
145
Most teachers and experts say the same thing.
146
Start small.
147
A good first step is to think in single words.
148
Look around you right now.
149
What do you see?
150
Try to name things in English.
151
For example, phone, table, chair, window, door.
152
At first you may not know all the words.
153
That is okay.
154
You can skip it or look it up later.
155
The important thing is to try.
156
Some teacher I know often tells his students to do this every day.
157
When they wake up, they look around and name things.
158
When they walk outside, they do the same.
159
After some time, something interesting happens.
160
Words start to come to your mind automatically.
161
You don't need to think too much.
162
You can also make it a habit.
163
For example, when you are in your room, you name five things.
164
When you are in the kitchen, you name five things.
165
Before you sleep, you think about what you use today.
166
Phone, bag, keys, food.
167
This builds your vocabulary in a natural way.
168
After you feel comfortable with nouns, you can add verbs.
169
For example, I open the door, I drink water, I sit on the chair.
170
Now your thinking becomes more active, not just naming, but describing actions.
171
Now let's move to the next level, thinking in conversation.
172
This means you imagine that you are talking to someone, you ask questions, and you answer them.
173
This is very powerful because it prepares you for real life.
174
For example, imagine someone asks you, what did you do yesterday?
175
You can answer in your mind, yesterday I worked, then I went home,
176
I watched a video and went to sleep.
177
Or imagine someone asks, what do you like to do on weekends?
178
You can answer, I like to relax.
179
I watch movies.
180
Sometimes I go out with friends.
181
At first, your answers will be simple.
182
That is okay.
183
The goal is not to be perfect.
184
The goal is to get used to speaking in your mind without translating.
185
You can do this anywhere.
186
When you are walking, when you are waiting, when you are alone.
187
You don't need a partner.
188
You create the conversation yourself.
189
And here is something important.
190
Sometimes you will not know a word.
191
Your mind will stop.
192
In that moment, don't go back to your native language.
193
Try to explain the idea in a different way.
194
For example, if you don't know the word calculator, you can say the thing I used to count numbers.
195
This is exactly what happens in real conversations.
196
The more you practice this, the more natural it becomes.
197
Over time, your brain will stop translating.
198
Tip number two is very important.
199
Use English in your daily life.
200
If you want to speak English well, don't only study English, live with English.
201
This idea is simple, but many people don't do it.
202
They study for 30 minutes, then they stop.
203
The rest of the day, they go back to their own language.
204
So their brain never gets used to English.
205
But if you start using English in small moments during the day, everything begins to change.
206
English becomes something natural, not something difficult.
207
Think about your normal day.
208
When you wake up, when you eat, when you walk, when you use your phone.
209
these are all chances to use English.
210
For example, in the morning when you get dressed, you can say in your mind, I put on my shirt,
211
I wear my shoes, I take my bag.
212
When you are outside, you can say, I walk to work, I wait for the bus, I see many people.
213
These are very simple sentences, but they help you stay in English.
214
At first, it may feel slow.
215
You may need to think a lot.
216
That is okay.
217
You are training your brain.
218
You can also do this when you are doing daily tasks.
219
For example, when you are cooking, you can say, I cut the vegetables, I cook rice, the food smells good.
220
When you are using your phone, you can think, I check my messages, I watch a video, I reply to my friend.
221
These small actions happen every day, so you have many chances to practice.
222
You don't need extra time.
223
You just use the time you already have.
224
Another useful way is to describe your day using simple sentences.
225
Start with the present tense.
226
This is the easiest way.
227
For example, I work in the office, I answer emails, I talk to my boss.
228
Keep it simple and clear.
229
After that, you can try to think about your plans.
230
This helps you use different tenses.
231
For example, in the morning you can say, Today, I will go to work.
232
I will meet my friend.
233
I will study English tonight.
234
or you can make a small play in your mind.
235
After work, I'm going to buy coffee.
236
Then I will go home.
237
I will watch a video and relax.
238
This may feel more difficult at first, but it helps you speak about the future.
239
You can also think about past actions at night.
240
For example, today I worked a lot.
241
I talked to my friend.
242
I learned some new words.
243
So now you are using three time forms, present, future, and past.
244
This is how real language works in daily life.
245
And here is why this method is powerful.
246
You are not memorizing.
247
You are using English again and again in real situations.
248
Your brain starts to remember patterns.
249
You don't need to translate every time.
250
Over time, something changes.
251
You stop thinking your language first.
252
You start thinking directly in English.
253
And that is a big step toward fluency.
254
Tip number three is very simple, but also very important.
255
Immerse yourself in English.
256
This means you listen to English every day.
257
If you want to think in English and speak more naturally, you need to hear the language often.
258
Not once a week, not only in class, but a little bit every day.
259
Many learners focus too much on grammar or vocabulary, but they forget one thing.
260
Language is something you hear first.
261
Before you can speak well, your brain needs to get used to the sound of English.
262
Listening helps you learn new words, but more importantly, it helps you understand how real English sounds.
263
You learn the rhythm, the speed, and the natural way people speak.
264
This is something books cannot teach you.
265
At first, listening may feel difficult.
266
You may feel like you don't understand anything.
267
Maybe you only catch a few words.
268
This is normal.
269
Many people stop at this point because they think this is too hard for me.
270
But actually, this is the most important stage.
271
Your brain is learning even if you don't notice it yet.
272
Think about when you listen to music in another language.
273
At first, it sounds like noise.
274
But after you hear it, many times you start to recognize words.
275
Then you understand small parts.
276
Language works the same way.
277
So you don't need to understand 100%.
278
Even if you understand 30% or 50%, it is still very useful.
279
Your brain is slowly building connections.
280
Over time, you will understand more without translating.
281
Now, how can you do this in real life?
282
It's very simple.
283
You can listen to podcasts like this one.
284
You can listen to English music.
285
You can watch short videos on YouTube.
286
You can listen to simple stories or English news for learners.
287
Choose something you enjoy, because if you enjoy it, you will continue.
288
Even 10 to 15 minutes a day can make a big difference.
289
If you do this every day, your ears will slowly become stronger.
290
You will start to recognize common words and phrases.
291
And one day, you will notice something surprising.
292
You will understand without thinking too much.
293
This is the moment when you stop translating because your brain is now used to English.
294
So don't worry if it feels slow at the beginning.
295
Just keep listening.
296
Make English, your background sound like music in your life.
297
And over time, it will become natural for you.
298
Tip number four is very important.
299
Speak out loud and train your speaking muscles.
300
Many learners read English in their head, and that is good for understanding.
301
But if you want to speak better, you must use your voice.
302
Speaking is a physical skill.
303
It uses your mouth, your tongue, your lips, and your breath.
304
If you don't practice, it will feel difficult every time you try to speak.
305
So reading out loud is a simple but powerful habit.
306
Choose something easy, not too difficult.
307
It can be a short story, a simple dialogue, or even subtitles from a video you like.
308
Read it slowly at first.
309
Focus on clear pronunciation.
310
Don't worry if you make mistakes.
311
Then read it again a little faster.
312
read it again with more feeling, like you are telling a story or acting in a movie.
313
For example, if you read the sentence, I am happy to see you, don't just read the words, try to feel it.
314
Say like you mean it.
315
This helps your brain understand not only the meaning, but also the emotion in English.
316
At first, you may feel uncomfortable.
317
Maybe your voice sounds strange.
318
Maybe some words are difficult to say.
319
That is normal.
320
Even simple words like world or comfortable can be hard.
321
But the more you practice, the easier it becomes.
322
Think of it like going to the gym.
323
The first time is always difficult.
324
But if you train a little every day, your muscles become stronger.
325
Your speaking works the same way.
326
Now let's move to the next step.
327
Use what you hear and speak it out loud.
328
Listening is important, but speaking is what makes you improve faster.
329
After you listen to a sentence, repeat it.
330
Not just the words, but also the sound, the rhythm, and the feeling.
331
For example, listen to this.
332
I want to get better at English.
333
Now repeat it.
334
Try to match the speed and the tone.
335
I don't understand everything, but I keep going.
336
Repeat it again.
337
I'm improving little by little.
338
Repeat.
339
When you do this, you are training your mouth to move in English naturally.
340
You are also training your ear to hear correct pronunciation.
341
At first, you may not sound the same as the speaker.
342
That is okay.
343
Don't stop.
344
Just continue.
345
Over time, your voice will become smoother.
346
Your pronunciation will become clearer.
347
And you will feel more comfortable speaking.
348
You can do this anywhere.
349
At home, in your room, or even when you're alone outside own outside.
350
Some people practice while walking or cooking.
351
You don't need a perfect place.
352
You just need to use your voice.
353
Also repetition is very important.
354
Don't just say something one time and move on.
355
Repeat it again and again.
356
This helps your brain remember the sound and the structure.
357
For example, you can repeat one sentence five times, ten times, or even more.
358
It may feel boring, but this is how your speaking becomes natural.
359
So remember this, it does not need to be perfect.
360
It just needs to be practiced.
361
If you use your voice every day, even for a few minutes, you will see a big difference over time.
362
Your speaking will become easier, clearer, and more confident.
363
And that is the goal.
364
Tip number five is about changing one simple habit in your daily life.
365
This is a very easy way to learn English, even if you are very busy.
366
You don't need extra time.
367
You just use the time you already have.
368
Start by changing your phone settings to English.
369
Think about how many times you look at your phone every day.
370
Maybe 50 times.
371
Maybe even 100 times.
372
You check messages, social media, the time, all notifications.
373
So why not turn this into learning time?
374
When your phone is in English, you start to see English words again and again.
375
Words like settings, airplane mode, brightness, update, delete, or download.
376
At first, you may not understand everything.
377
But after a few days, you start to recognize these words.
378
You don't need to study them.
379
You don't need to memorize them.
380
your brain learns them naturally because you see them so often.
381
This is called passive learning.
382
It means you learn without feeling like you are studying.
383
It is simple but very powerful, especially for people who are busy or don't have much time.
384
Another habit you can build is writing a short diary in English every day.
385
You don't need to write long paragraphs.
386
You don't need to worry about perfect grammar.
387
Just write three simple sentences about your day.
388
For example, you can write, Today I went to work.
389
I felt very tired.
390
I drank two cups of coffee.
391
Or, it rained this morning.
392
I stayed at home.
393
I watched an English video.
394
These sentences may look simple, but they are very useful.
395
They help you practice sentence structure.
396
They help you use real vocabulary from your own life.
397
And most importantly, they help you think in English, not translate.
398
You can do this at night before you sleep.
399
It only takes five minutes.
400
You can write in a notebook or on your phone.
401
If you want, you can also send your sentences to a friend who is learning English.
402
You write, they reply.
403
Now it becomes a real conversation.
404
And one more simple method is using short videos.
405
Today, platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are full of short English videos.
406
These videos are usually easy to understand and very close to real life.
407
You can choose any topic you like, travel, food, daily life, or even funny videos.
408
The important thing is that you enjoy it.
409
Watch one short video two or three times.
410
Then pause and repeat the sentences.
411
Try to copy how the speaker talks.
412
Pay attention to their tone, their speed, and how they connect words together.
413
Even if the video is only 20 seconds long, it is enough.
414
Because you are not just watching, you are listening, repeating, and practicing.
415
This is how you train your ear and your mouth together.
416
And this is how real speaking improves.
417
If you combine these small habits, changing your phone, writing a short diary,
418
and repeating short videos, you will start to see a big difference.
419
Not in one day, but over time.
420
Your brain will become more familiar with English.
421
And slowly, you will stop translating.
422
You will start thinking directly.
423
Okay, so let's make it simple.
424
For example, thinking in English is not as difficult as you think.
425
It doesn't take a lot of time and you don't need a teacher next to you all the time.
426
You can practice it by yourself in your daily life, step by step.
427
Here is the real secret.
428
You don't need to add something new to your day.
429
You just need to change what you already do into English.
430
For example, instead of checking your phone in your own language, try to read one message in English.
431
Instead of writing your daily notes in your language, try to write one or two simple sentences in English.
432
When you are walking, instead of thinking in your language, try to describe what you see in English.
433
These are very small actions, but they are very powerful.
434
When you repeat these small actions every day, they slowly become habits.
435
And strong habits create confident speakers.
436
You don't need to feel ready.
437
You don't need to be perfect.
438
You just need to show up every day and use English a little more.
439
Think about your normal day.
440
You wake up, you check your phone, you eat, you go to work, you rest.
441
All of these moments can become practice.
442
For example, in the morning, you can think, I feel sleepy.
443
At lunch, you can think, this food is good.
444
At night, you can say, today was a busy day.
445
These are simple, but they help your brain stay in English.
446
Over time, something important happens.
447
You stop translating.
448
You stop thinking in two languages.
449
English starts to come to your mind more naturally.
450
So remember this.
451
Don't treat English like homework.
452
Don't think, I need one hour to study.
453
Instead, make English part of your life.
454
Let it be in your phone, your notes, your thoughts, and your voice.
455
Let it be something you use.
456
not just something you learn.
457
When you do this, English feels different.
458
It feels easier.
459
It feels more natural.
460
And this is where real fluency begins.
461
So start small, stay consistent, and keep going.
462
See you next time.
463
Goodbye for now.
