What’s up guys?

Today I’ll answer a very important question.

How to think in English?

I have 3 tips for you

And let this soak into your brain

because these are super important.

Number 1

Use translation to your advantage.

What?

Translation?

But we are here to learn how to think in English?

Isn’t translating the opposite of that?

No, it’s not.

This is normal

reversing

reverting

converting

resorting

to your native language is just a normal process.

Just think about it this way.

your brain takes new pieces of information from outside

and associates those pieces of information

with old pieces of information

that your brain has stored.

So don’t be afraid of translating.

Just think of translating as a companion that accompanies you

through the process of language learning.

When you’ve had enough input

and learned to be on the right track by yourself

You can walk alone without this buddy.

Number 2

Simplify and connect

One problem a lot of people have

is when they are translating from Persian to English

or other languages

they’re overcomplicating things.

As a result of that

your brain is gonna be like:

Broooo

what are you doing?

This is too hard for me…

So start small.

Of course, you wanna sound smart

and use a lot of idioms and hard structures

but

not when you don’t have right the tools.

So at first you gotta make sure your brain is ready

for something more complicated.

Remember

the point of communication is to be able to connect

and get your point across.

Let me give you an example.

An example of a harder structure is:

I want to go to the sea today

because the weather is nice.

This is the whole sentence…

let’s break it down and make it simpler.

The easier structure is:

Today the weather is beautiful.

I want to go to the sea.

Two small sentences are easier for your brain to digest

in comparison to the long one.

Number 3

Get massive amount of input.

Look guys

I’ve talked about it millions of times here.

Language learning is all about input.

The things you listen to

and read under any circumstances.

Even when you speak to another person

still you are providing input for your brain.

Get yourself

exposed to the target language in a comprehensible way.

Think about what a native speaker does.

Imitate them.

they read English books,

they listen to English podcasts

they watch English movies.

They are getting a huge amount of input.

Let’s think about it this way

Your brain is like a recorder

and it records almost everything.

So the more you expose yourself to different situations

people

books

documentaries

movies

to everything you can think of…

the better.

I’m pretty sure you’ve found yourself saying something

that you thought

“ where did I learn this,

how do I know this?”

This is because your brain learns subconsciously as well.

Let’s do a quick wrap-up:

number 1

translating is natural

don’t be afraid of it.

Number 2

make things simple

and understandable for your brain.

And number 3

get massive comprehensible input.
