Learning a new language is like learning to swim , it needs a lot of practice , never give up , to trust in yourself and your ability to learn well.

The best way to describe the learning process, and of course so much patience.

[@albertlu8407]

1. Talk to yourself in English. 2. Don’t use bilingual dictionary. 3. Try to describe the word you don’t know 4. Write down something you need to do. 5. Create some pep talk in English for yourself.

Thank you for your video about how to think in English. Basically I will think in English before my class because I am studying in US and I wanna to talk with my classmates and I will talk to to myself in my head about what I did or where I went last week in advance, just a little practice to avoid some breaks when I talk to my classmates. And from now on I will give up my bilingual dictionary and write diary and create my mantra. I believe I can do that!!!

[@liliapolato4048]

Hi Teela, I was really delighted to listen to your video (I closed my eyes in order to check if I were able to understand) and much to my surprise your tips were well understood even some words were unknown to me. I followed your suggestion to look their meaning up on monolingual dictionary. I think that I could try to start to turn my thoughts up in English.......... but I must do a strong self-discipline exercise......... every day (that's a great effort, indeed)

Thank you for your advices, very helpful!.. I've been done "shadowing" when I to listen something related to English, it refers to repeat instantly when the speaker ends a word or phrase, then you repeat more fluently with practice and for learning vocabulary is good idea write down the meaning of the unknown words. 😃👍

[@petic4302]

Hello! Thank you for the 5 tips!! I use to talk out loud to myself when driving. I hope this can help some of the people who read this, but be aware that this must not be a distraction when driving.You must drive calm and paying attention to what you see, but all you see you can "tell about it" to yourself. I think it is better if you practice it in your head, when doing other things, rather than driving. Also, sometimes I use to talk to myself in my head, silently. I consider this a great practice, because then, it becomes naturally for you to speak in English. Again, thank you for the tips!!
