    when I started my journey through the English language, I had this issue translating from English to Portuguese to English again... So it used to be very tough to hold on. At that time there is no internet even the schools used to teach us to think in English... I started to create my method... be creative... I began tagging all objects with their name in English... mirror 🪞 chair 🪑 bathroom 🚿 and so on... Suddenly I was thinking automatically in English... the tricks worked... and more importantly never give up, never compare your progress with the others, get your rhythm...

    I am 56 and I am a native Portuguese speaker. I realized what you explained in your video many years ago. I decided to stop thinking that a chair is a "cadeira" and just put the image of a chair in my mind when I hear the word Chair. This approach made a lot for me. The difficult part is to do the same for intangible things. However the process is absolutely the same. Now my new challenge is to learn the expressions that native speakers use in their daily conversation. Why teachers never teach you that? This make the whole difference because you can't expect the other person will only talk plain vocabulary in a conversation.
    By the way: The few words you've spoken in Portuguese in your video sounded very Brazilian. Congrats!

    1. Watch TV in English (series, films, etc). If you need subtitles, put them in English.
    2. When you make a course (even in Spanish), take notes in English (or mix... )
    3. Write "the word of a day" in your agenda and think sentences using that word.
    4. Write quotes of different personalities in your agenda (politics, writers, actors, etc).
    5. Talk with yourself.
    6. Read aloud.
    7. Stop using translator.

    If I go back in time, 13 years or so, I'd tell myself not to worry and keep pushing because there will come that time I finally understand and use full English.. I literally started from scratch. I remember myself learning the alphabet with a song on UA-cam. I wanna tell people out there it is possible; just commit to it, love it, embrace it, and make it part of your life; it becomes natural. Give yourself patience and time, time among all, because it will kick in, it will click. Thanks, Gab. I came across this video, and it was super interesting to watch.

    I am a native speaker and taught for 5 years. When I was young I wasn't a great student in class, but in my own time I would read dictionaries to build vocabulary and read encyclopaedias to widen my knowledge. Music is great because songwriters employ repetition and patterns in their songs. I used to break down songs teaching in China to explore ructions patterns, syntax, colloquialisms etc. Its useful.

      Try watching movies and series in english (with subtitles also in english) so you can practice your speaking, considering that you'll pause whatever you're watching and try to reproduce, in a loud voice, the speech you hear. That really helped me on talking with more fluence! I did it while I was learning the language and I still do it sometimes, because everything we don't practice we and up getting a little rusty.

What i try to do is listen to someone (no matter wether its music, podcasts or videos) first for few seconds or minutes and then i feel more comfortable and get udes to the language. Thats the way i use to get into english way of thinking. It has been helping me a lot.

    I totally get this. She's right. I'm British but lived in Denmark for a few years, I didn't start thinking in Danish until until I started reading Danish novels, saying the Danish in my head as I was reading. Eventually I stopped translating in my head. It was almost like when I first started swimming or riding a bicycle. It was like "I'm doing it, I'm doing it ".

For example; if you are at home and see a table, think in your target language "A table. This is a table. It´s a wooden table. It´s a modern table. It isn´t a big table but it´s a small one. It's a beautiful table. I like this table. It´s a very useful table. I eat my meals at this table. My family also eats meals here too. How would my life be if I didn't have this table?... But I have it!... I enjoy having a table!.. But, wait a minute... it´s a small table and we are a family living here; so maybe I would try to sell this table and buy another one. That's the point!... We need to buy a new table!... Hey!.. Wait a minute again!... Don´t you remember the name of the person who gave you this table on your birthday?... Yes!... you're right: your mom. Oh, how could I forget this?... Well, in that case, I´m going to continue having this table. I will find a different place for it in my home and I will buy another one for my dining room. Mon I love you!... Every time from now, when I see this small table I'll remember you. I hope you still remember me from heaven".
    Now, imagine all that you can speak to yourself about all things you can see in your home, or better yet, when you go out you will have a universe of people and things to do a similar exercise to this.
    Blessings!

    Como empezar a pensar en ingles.
    1) Comience con pequeñas actividades en ingles
    -Configura tu celular en ingles
    -Usa el ingles cuando paseas con tu perro.
    2) Escucha màs ingles
    -Escucha musica en ingles
    -Escucha podcast, radio, videos, netflix
    3) Trate de adivinar o planear lo que un hablante nativo va a decir en la siguiente conversación., presentación, etc. Esto ayuda a preparar el cerebro a recibir informaciòn.
    4) Pare de aprender exclusivamente a través de la traducción
    -Usemos la asociación,
    -Visualmente, el tacto.
    5) Pare de usar un diccionario bilingue, use un dicionario de ingles a ingles.
    6) Etiqueta objetos de tu entorno.
    7) Habla de ti mismo en ingles, estoy ayuda speaking, listening, vocabolario. Piensa en voz alta.
    8) Comienza el dìa pensando con un mantra o motto o alguna frase que solo lo haga empezar con motivación.
    9) Hace un poco cada día. Por ejemplo pensar por 30 segundos en ingles.

    Hey Gabby, my name is Jorge and I am from Paraguay. I have been learning English since I was 14 (now I am 24) at the beginning I had a lot of problem as you said understanding because I was translating everything in my head before I respond or simply to understand a question, so I struggled a lot before I started to think in English and everything was way easier... How did I do that?
    Well many people might think this is crazy but what I do it's talk to myself in English, daily things such as WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TODAY? And start thinking about my ''agenda'' you know like TODAY I MUST GO TO CLASS, IN THE AFTERNOON I NEED TO MEET MY FRIENDS, TOMORROW I NEED TO PAY MY CREDIT CARD BILL and things like that you know, I made English my second daily language after Spanish, also having my computer and my phone in English help me up a lot too because I am constantly in a ''English environment'.''
    Then you have thousands of other options to actually use your English everyday: UA-cam, Music, read something in Internet, anything that might make you have some practice everyday, try to use my English in my real life situation, that's very helpful. I hope I can help someone with y tip. :)

    Here is a tip that has personally helped me improving my vocabulary: whether you are reading a book, watching a movie, listening to music, or having a conversation and you come across a word or phrase you don't know the meaning of, don't go looking for the meaning in your native language but look for the definition in English. This way your mind will learn to associate those words in English rather than translating in Spanish first.

    I learned how to think in English by memorizing my favorite Bible verses. As a kid, I used to memorize Bible verses and even entire chapters just for fun. born and raise in a poor country, my mom's Bible was one of the few books available for me. Later in life, I had the privilege to come to the U.S and I found myself with the need to learn English and I had to learn it fast. My way to achieve that goal was by reading/saying out loud to myself the english translation of my most inspiring Bible verses in Spanish and try to feel the same emotions as I would in Spanish. ..it worked well for me.

    Hello, again Gabby!. At 80's I was a teenager and I enjoy listening to songs in English, but honestly, I only understood a few words, nevertheless, I continued enjoying listening to the music and the melodic voices of the singers. At that time I did have the opportunity to learn the lyrics of my favorite songs. Now is different. I´m an English teacher and I say to my students they are fortunate because they are living in the technology age. Today it´s really easy to learn songs in our target language due to the Internet, especially UA-cam channels. Now I can listen to, learn and sing my favorite songs in English. This exercise had let me improve my English pronunciation skill, and better yet, I've been motivated to write my own songs (about ten) in English. I would like someday could share my English songs with the world.
    Take care!

      Practice is what you need. You can practice with native speakers on many different applications. The important thing is to practice speaking. You can practice speaking with yourself also. With a native speaker, they can give you corrections, but by practicing alone, you help your brain develop a connection between all of your vocabulary understanding and your mouth. Without practice, all the language you know is just an information data bank in your brain.
      Things like Cambly can really be useful for this

      Try to use the internet only in English, forget your Arabic language completely, register in forums and websites of your interests then interact with other members in English,
      and watch unpopular movies and TV-shows with English subtitle ( leave the best and the popular when you become advanced like a native speaker ),
      in conclusion do what you like in English and make your entire life-style like a native one.

      Hey, don't compare me with her she's far better than me.

      There is Mormon's mission in my country. They organize free speaking club twice a week. It is not about religious. There are topics like "do you believe in love at first sight"? Or "what is better summer or winter?" This is great practice with Americans for me, I think you can try find them in China.
