1
You can know a lot of English and still feel like it disappears as soon as someone asks you a simple question.
2
You've probably had this, right?
3
You understood what they said and you know what you want to say.
4
But somewhere between the thought and your mouth, it's like there's this very busy little meeting happening inside your head.
5
First, you've got to check that you understood correctly.
6
Is this what they said?
7
Then you need to think of your answer and you've got to try
8
and find the right English words to help you give that answer.
9
You've got to check your grammar and then you've got to worry if you've chosen the right words or not.
10
And sometimes by the time that you're actually ready to speak,
11
that connection has been made, the conversation's moved on.
12
It's exhausting.
13
And it's no wonder that so many of my students ask me, Emma, help me to think in English.
14
Hey ladies, welcome back and a big welcome to anyone who is joining us for the very first time.
15
This is the Confident English podcast.
16
My name is Emma.
17
I'm the founder of Hey Lady,
18
an online community that brings women together from all around the world to practice speaking English.
19
Every week, we break down the barriers that keep you from speaking with confidence,
20
whether that's at work, while you're traveling, or in everyday life.
21
And if you've been learning English for a long time and you are asking yourself,
22
why am I still translating in my head every time I try and speak?
23
You are in the right place.
24
And I'm excited that you're here.
25
Let's get into the episode.
26
This week's episode was inspired by a message from one of our listeners.
27
like just think and speak.
28
What should I do now?
29
My cert is around B2C1.
30
I feel like still need more study but I don't know what.
31
Thank you.
32
This is such a great question.
33
It is so frustrating when you've put so much time
34
and effort into learning that it almost feels unfair
35
that you have to go through this slow mental process every time you speak.
36
And you're thinking, oh my God, how much more do I need to learn before this stops feeling
37
so hard until it just happens naturally without having to think about it?
38
Well, the good news is that if you have reached
39
this stage in your journey where you can understand English but you're not yet thinking in English,
40
then you are ready to start developing this skill.
41
So today I'm going to share with you two different ways that you can practice thinking in English.
42
First, I'm going to show you how you can practice on your own
43
and then how to take that skill into real conversations for practice.
44
When you first started learning English, most of the language probably came to you through a lesson of some kind,
45
a textbook or a course or a YouTube video, unless you grew up surrounded by English,
46
well, your teacher probably wasn't standing right beside you in the supermarket saying, that's a trolley.
47
They weren't walking down the street with you saying, she's walking her dog.
48
It's starting to rain.
49
That boy is crying because he fell down.
50
That way of learning creates direct connections between the language and the meaning because it's literally right in front of your eyes.
51
And this is how we all learned our first language and our teachers,
52
our parents or our grandparents were right there with us the whole time.
53
But when you learned English, that connection between the language and the meaning was not quite so direct.
54
So most of the time you learned the English first and then you connected it to meaning through another point of reference,
55
an explanation, a picture or through your first language because you learn what that word means in your native language.
56
Your native language helped you to build little bridges to connect the meaning with English.
57
And that's really useful when you're learning.
58
But as you probably now realize, you are constantly crossing bridges in your mind.
59
You're going back and forth between English and your native language.
60
And going back and forth like that takes time.
61
What you now need to do is practice making more of those connections in the moment,
62
directly between meaning and English.
63
So here's a little exercise that I want you to do.
64
I want you to look around the room
65
or the place you're in right now and describe what you can see directly in English.
66
I don't just mean name things, table, book, window, computer.
67
I want you to start with a simple observation and then build the thought in English.
68
So let's look at an example.
69
She's walking her dog.
70
Then add something else.
71
She's walking her dog to the park.
72
Add another detail.
73
She's walking her dog to the park on a really hot day.
74
Keep going.
75
She's walking her dog to the park on a really hot day wearing a heavy jacket and then maybe add a reaction.
76
I don't know how she can stand it.
77
I would be so hot.
78
Notice what we're doing here.
79
We're not creating a long,
80
impressive, complicated thought in your native language first and then trying to translate the whole thing.
81
You're practicing having the thought in English as it develops.
82
And this is not about being impressive or complicated.
83
It is about being basic and building from there.
84
Don't worry if you don't know every word you need.
85
Just use the English that comes to you in that moment, even if it does feel really simple.
86
And don't be surprised if the words that come to you aren't exactly the ones that you imagined you would use.
87
That's okay.
88
In fact, that's actually perfect because the goal is not to create the perfect sentence.
89
The goal is to practice building your thoughts directly in English
90
without crossing that bridge and going back to your native language again.
91
And you can do the same thing with something that you've just listened to or watched.
92
You could listen to this podcast or a video.
93
When you finish it, turn it off and explain the main idea back to yourself in English.
94
Don't repeat the exact words that I said, but use what you know to explain what happened.
95
Maybe express what really interested you.
96
Maybe share your own opinion about the topic.
97
And that forces you to find the English yourself instead of simply just recognizing someone else's English.
98
If you want to think in English, you need to practice producing thoughts in English.
99
so the first exercise is something that you can do on your own
100
and you can do it as much as you like it's really useful
101
but the next step and the most important one is to use this skill in conversations
102
but I don't want you to make this complicated start simple a simple casual conversation can give you something
103
that solo practice can't.
104
Another person.
105
And when you're speaking with another person, it changes everything.
106
Someone can ask you a question that you didn't expect.
107
They might ask for more detail.
108
You might hear another opinion.
109
Maybe someone makes you laugh and so the experience is different.
110
Now you are listening and you're thinking and you're responding spontaneously in that moment.
111
We want English to feel less like something that you have prepared for
112
and more like something that you can adapt while the conversation is happening.
113
So the second exercise is simple.
114
Have more real conversations in English.
115
There is one technique that makes this even more effective.
116
And that is come back to the same general topic multiple times.
117
The first time that you talk about something in English, there is a lot going on.
118
You are deciding what you think about this topic.
119
You are finding the words that you need, building the sentences all at the same time.
120
But the next time that you return to that topic, well, some of the language,
121
some of the ideas and the thoughts that you want to share are already familiar.
122
you've used some of those words before you've heard other people
123
share ideas about this topic you've already thought about some of those ideas again yourself
124
so now you have a little bit of space to refine to listen
125
and to think and to respond in a better way and the best part about this is, you're building on what you know.
126
You're reinforcing the connections between your brain and your ears and your mouth.
127
And all of this makes each conversation about this topic a little bit easier, a little bit smoother, a little bit faster.
128
This is a technique that we've developed very deliberately inside Hey Lady.
129
Every month, our coaches introduce a new conversation theme.
130
One broad topic.
131
And in each topic, you get vocabulary lessons, useful expressions, grammar lessons, pronunciation,
132
all of these things that help you to establish familiarity with the topic.
133
Then we create lots of different conversations around this topic.
134
So for example, one topic might be healthy eating.
135
And your first conversation could be, what does healthy eating mean to you?
136
And so you talk about what you cook,
137
what you eat at home and maybe what healthy food looks like in your country.
138
Now that first conversation it might feel difficult.
139
You might be translating in your head searching for specific words that you need to articulate your idea in English.
140
You might hear other people using new words or new ideas that you hadn't thought of.
141
But then, a few days later, you come back to talk about the same topic.
142
But the question changes.
143
Why does healthy food seem so expensive?
144
Now you need an opinion, but you're not starting from zero.
145
You've already got words like fresh ingredients, processed foods, and meal planning.
146
They're already familiar and easier for you to use.
147
So you can build on those ideas and everything that you learned from your first conversation in the next one.
148
You get to refine and improve each time the conversation is new,
149
but more and more of the English that you need is familiar.
150
You're building on that familiar English to express new ideas and to respond to new people or share a different opinion.
151
It's all familiar language, but it's new thoughts and you're practicing getting those thoughts into your head quicker.
152
The more often you do that, the more natural it becomes to listen,
153
to think, and to respond in English about this topic without needing to cross
154
that bridge and go back to your native language to translate each and every time.
155
So that building on the topic is really important.
156
now if you would like to build fluency like this
157
and to speak more freely
158
and effortlessly in English you need a place to practice people to practice with right well
159
that is where Hey Lady can help you.
