1
If you're translating in your head, then you know that that's a frustrating way to speak English.
2
But the good news is, there are concrete things you can do to practice to stop translating in your head and start thinking in English.
3
In this video, we're going to give you tips and strategies to start thinking in English, stop translating in your head, and increase fluency speaking English.
4
And what a better way to start 2020 than with this goal.
5
First, I want you to name one reason why you want to start thinking in English.
6
I want to learn to think in English so I can easily participate in conversation.
7
Whatever your reason is, I know it's a good one.
8
And I think in 2020 you can make that happen.
9
The first tip is to start simple and name objects around you in English.
10
I remember when I was learning German and I was doing this, I had to learn the article as well.
11
Der, die, das.
12
Der Computer.
13
We don't have that in English, but it doesn't hurt to really focus on the pronunciation as you're thinking of simple objects.
14
In fact, that's why I started my YouTube channel and even my Academy.
15
When I was learning German, French, and Italian as an opera student, I couldn't find any resources that focused enough on pronunciation.
16
And I knew that to be effective, I needed the right pronunciation right from the beginning.
17
So I created my YouTube channel and my academy to put pronunciation forward.
18
So take a moment as you're naming objects to think about pronunciation.
19
Closet.
20
Box.
21
Million subscriber button.
22
Cool.
23
Globe.
24
Window.
25
And if you're not sure about the pronunciation, listen to some native speakers.
26
You can use an online dictionary.
27
Also, Youglish is a great resource for this.
28
This record is replicated on every computer that uses the network.
29
Computer-generated movies are really mainstream today.
30
Something that we couldn't possibly do with our classical computer.
31
They want him to be able to distinguish, you know, the telephone from the computer, whatever they did with him.
32
Computer, computer.
33
They're all saying that with a flap.
34
Computer, da da da da, da da.
35
A flap instead of t, a T sound.
36
Computer, computer, middle syllable stress.
37
If you can add this step of focusing on the pronunciation and listening to native speakers, awesome.
38
If not, if you only have 15 seconds and you're naming as many objects as you can, that's okay too.
39
So that's step one, and it's simple.
40
Take a moment, look around you, and name all of the objects that you can in English.
41
If you can do that very easily, then you can move on.
42
But if that's a challenge for you, spend some time on object naming.
43
Every time you're in a new room, a new environment, take a few seconds to do it.
44
Note words you don't know, look them up, learn them.
45
The context will help you remember them.
46
The next step is to think in simple sentences.
47
Stop right now and think of the beginning of a sentence, I'm...
48
I'm hungry, I'm tired, I'm working.
49
Do it in English.
50
I'll wait a few seconds.
51
You're starting with I'm.
52
Now look around you.
53
What can you say about anything in your environment?
54
This chair is comfy.
55
The drawer is open.
56
My desk is messy.
57
That one's easy because it's almost always true.
58
If there's something you can't describe, look up the words you need in a dictionary, memorize it.
59
Memorize that phrase.
60
Learning in context like this will help.
61
Speaking of dictionaries, see if you can do this.
62
Get an English only dictionary rather than a translating dictionary between English and your native language.
63
If you come across a word in English that you don't know, use the English only dictionary, a learner's dictionary.
64
Can you see what we're doing here?
65
We're building your mind to work in English mode rather than translation mode.
66
There is a thing called a learner's dictionary, and it describes every word in English in simple words and terms.
67
Try it.
68
Merriam-Webster has one, Oxford, Cambridge.
69
And if you have to learn and understand a word by reading in English, by studying what it means in English, then you'll know it as an English word, not as a translation of your own language.
70
So you've named single words and you've made simple sentences.
71
The next step is, have small conversations with yourself in English.
72
With yourself?
73
Yes.
74
You don't feel pressure to speak quickly, to come up with the next thing.
75
You can keep the pace slow, relaxed.
76
I absolutely did this when learning Spanish.
77
In fact, I remember a car trip that I did by myself from Sarasota to Gainesville, where the whole time I spoke to myself in Spanish.
78
If this is hard for you, stop and give up.
79
No!
80
It will get better and easier with practice.
81
Do it every day.
82
Set aside two minutes every day to have a simple conversation with yourself.
83
Give yourself 30 days.
84
Do this every day for 30 days.
85
Don't take a day off.
86
If you have five minutes one day, do it for five minutes.
87
A whole conversation as simple as it needs to be in English.
88
In 30 days, you'll see, wow, I did improve.
89
This is worth my time.
90
And then rededicate 30 more days.
91
Once you're able to do this, I think you're able to do step four, which is really exciting.
92
Change at least one of your everyday life things to English.
93
Everyday life things?
94
What's that?
95
Switch your calendar to English.
96
Use the English months and days of the week and write what you're going to be doing in English.

Take one thing like getting dressed, making breakfast, getting from your car to your desk, cleaning up.
110
As you're doing it in your head, narrate in English.
111

112
That's light.
113
That should go there.
114
Let's see.
115
Does this need to be sprayed for stains?
116
Yeah.
117
Better spray it.
118
Alright, let's load up the washing machine.
119
Oop, that's too light.
120
That should go there.
121

137
Pick something you're dying to know how to do anyway.
138
This will make it a super enjoyable lesson.
139
The next step is something you're actually going to want to be doing all along with all the steps, and that's keep track so you're doing it every day.
140
Once you choose that you want to think in English and stop translating in your head, write down every day what you do.
141
And of course, do this in English.
142
It could look like this.
143
Today I named everything around me that I could think of in English two different times.
144
I watched a three-minute news story in English.
145
Just having a place to write it down can motivate you to do it.
146
And the last thing is something you can do every night after you lay down for bed, but before you fall asleep.
147
Recap your day in English.
148
You're taking advantage of this opportunity that you'll have every day, no matter where you are, or what your day was like.
149
No one I know falls asleep the moment their head hits the pillow.
150
What a What a lovely day that was.

I got to meet my mom for lunch, go for a walk in the afternoon, and I even had time to watch a movie after I put the kids down to bed.

Video này cung cấp những mẹo cực kỳ hữu ích giúp bạn dừng lại việc dịch câu từ tiếng mẹ đẻ sang tiếng Anh trong đầu, giúp bạn phát triển khả năng suy nghĩ bằng tiếng Anh. Khi bạn thực hành theo những gì được khuyến nghị trong video, bạn không chỉ cải thiện khả năng nói mà còn tăng cường sự tự tin trong giao tiếp. Khả năng tham gia vào các cuộc trò chuyện một cách tự nhiên và lưu loát sẽ mở ra nhiều cơ hội trong học tập và công việc. Một cách đơn giản để bắt đầu là ghi nhớ các đối tượng xung quanh bạn bằng tiếng Anh, từ đó làm quen với việc sử dụng ngôn ngữ này một cách tự nhiên hơn.
Cấu trúc ngữ pháp & Biểu thức trong ngữ cảnh
- “I’m hungry” - Câu đơn giản này là cách bắt đầu hữu ích để xây dựng ngữ pháp cơ bản và làm quen với việc sử dụng thì hiện tại đơn.
- “Think of the beginning of a sentence” - Câu này khuyến khích bạn tạo ra nhiều hình thức câu khác nhau, giúp phát triển khả năng sử dụng câu đa dạng hơn.
- “Name objects around you” - Yêu cầu này giúp kích thích trí tưởng tượng, từ đó nâng cao từ vựng và khả năng giao tiếp của bạn.
Khi bạn thường xuyên thực hiện các câu đơn giản như vậy, bạn đang tạo nền tảng vững chắc cho khả năng nói lưu loát hơn trong tiếng Anh. Việc áp dụng các cấu trúc ngữ pháp này vào thực tiễn sẽ giúp bạn tự tin hơn khi giao tiếp.
Các cạm bẫy phát âm phổ biến
Trong video, những từ như "computer" được nhắc đến với cách phát âm mà nhiều người học có thể gặp khó khăn. Cách phát âm của từ này có thể nghe giống như "com-pyu-tuh" thay vì phát âm đúng nhất. Việc chú ý đến các âm tiết căng thẳng và trọng âm trong từ sẽ giúp bạn tránh được những lỗi phát âm phổ biến. Ngoài ra, việc nghe các bản ghi âm và sử dụng phần mềm shadowing sẽ giúp bạn cải thiện kỹ năng phát âm một cách nhanh chóng. Tham gia vào shadow speak hoặc các trang web shadowspeaks để luyện tập thêm và làm quen với cách phát âm tự nhiên của người bản ngữ.
Bằng cách kết hợp các kỹ thuật này, không chỉ giúp bạn tăng cường vốn từ vựng mà còn gia tăng khả năng phát âm chuẩn xác, điều này rất quan trọng trong việc giao tiếp hiệu quả bằng tiếng Anh.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
