[@toprogramm]

I agree with this method, it really works for words which you can imagine or touch, but sometimes I have problems with abstract words like "view" "fairness" "downplay" "excitement" "rebuff" they contain more then one concept. In my opinion it can be corrected by daily practice with these words and trying to explain them in English. This case can be a really demotivating factor to speak more correct and presentative when you can think more adult and complex, and your mind says "haha you have only a child vocabulary say goo-goo da-da" 😁 Thanks that you are helping us to think in English, Rachel 😄🥰

Hi my best teacher can you tell me a way how can i learn english with you to get my degree in english

[@rachelsenglish]

Hi Daramane! The Academy only helps in improving pronunciation - If that’s what you are looking for then I would recommend focusing in on one topic at a time and giving that topic 2 weeks of focused practice before moving on. You can choose a playlist from my KZbin channel to help you select topics to focus on: kzbin.infoplaylists

What language is a toddler thinking in, when she receives a message from her Japanese mother and simultaneously gives it to her American father? Do you really beleive a person thinks in a language? So how come we forget a word or two in our own native language when everybody is speaking it? Don't you think thoughts are just ideas we put in any language we are used to speaking? What about a toddler who can't speak yet but who can understand their parents quite well? And the deaf mute ones? What language do they think in, before they learn how to use sign language?

[@rachelsenglish]

The brain is very interesting and complex, and you make a good point!

[@EscritorFlavioNotaroberto]

Unfortulately, it doesn't work neurologically the idea of "not translating". First it is crucial to translate into your native language up to the brain is able to recogniza it as the same semamtic for different sound. Translate as much as you can is a more validated advice for those beginners in any language.

Is What you say for native english speakers? Do the native english speakers think before speaking ? For me it is not serious. It is sad😢😢. I ask me if what you share is useful. How did you know the need to think in english ? Is it a need of human being? What are the Areas you attempt to target?

[@rachelsenglish]

"Think in English" practice is most helpful for people who find themselves translating in their heads from another language to English. This habit is very common for ESL learners, and it can be frustrating when it slows down the pace of English conversation. Practicing thinking in English can be a good way to build confidence, quicker vocabulary recall, and more natural-feeling conversation.

[@user-wm5jc3vl1y]

@@rachelsenglish Thank you. It is not for native speakers. I see

[@user-wm5jc3vl1y]

@@rachelsenglish I believe you must think about what the learners feel when they speak english and their expectations while they do it.

[@hcm9999]

It is not possible to think in the target language, at least not for beginners. Beginners need to think first in their native language and then translate word for word into the target language. That is because beginners have no other choice. Beginners will first learn individual, isolated words. Eventually they will learn sentences and expressions, but that happens much later. So beginners have no other choice other than direct or literal translation. To ask beginners to think directly in the target language is unreasonable.
