REMEMBER if any of the conversation is difficult to understand you can turn on the subtitles with the "CC" button just below the screen. And, you can SLOW DOWN the speed of the video by clicking the "HD" button and choosing the playback speed. I recommend trying 0.75 or 0.5 and seeing what works best for you!

Greetings from Poland. I back to learn english after 40 years break and I am very glad that I came across to your video. I am looking forward the next meeting with you. Thank you.
I'm so glad you found my channel! See you in the comments!
Hello, My name's Aron I live in Cuba and I study english. I have seen many teachers, but however you get something special when I heard you. I would like that you be my teacher. Your teach are so good.
Hi Aron! Nice to meet you! Thank you for these kind words. I am so glad you are here in our English learning community!
Hello my name ghaith salem I'm from iraq You are the best English teacher. I learn from you. Your words are clear, simple and easy to understand. As a beginner, I understand what you are saying. Well done. Continue publishing more lessons. Thank you.
These below could be considered in helping us thinking in English or other languages :
#Name or describe (if unknown) the things that we see around. As continue with this, it becomes more of a habit, so things are going to pop up in mind.
#Think in sentences to what we see, feel, touch etc, starting from simple one. Once this becomes easy, you can move on to more difficult sentences.
#Describe our day using simple or even complex one.
#Thinking in conversation, imagining ourselves speaking to someone else. Asking the questions and thinking the replies. This could be a good way to practice what you might say in real coversation.
#Do not be lazy to practice in mind and be confident.
Nice share with you😊👍
Thank you for sharing some of the things that work for you. You have some great ideas for how to practice. I hope other students will benefit from you message!
this is of grat help ... thanks You
Having learned ESL, I developed fluency rather quickly . But it was while learning Spanish that I realized that my brain desperately searched for Spanish words to make sentences and the Spanish file in my brain lacked content. I've never resourced to Portuguese, my first language, to speak Spanish. My point is, once your brain develops the mechanism to speak a second language, it'll operate the same way with the other languages you're learning from day one. You can actually feel your mind switching files for different languages. Currently my brain struggles with Italian. Cheers from Brazil.
This is a great story about your learning process. Thank you for sharing it with me and others.
Atrophied, teacher could u introduce this word to us detailed
Thank you for the question. I have put it on my list to answer in my next live question and answer.

I think it's helpful for me to read a book and listen its audiobook simultaneously, that force me to not think in Spanish. Although I don’t understand everything is a good exercise.
Hello from Barcelona Tanya,
I try always to think in English when I'm speaking with someone but sometimes I can't remember some vocabulary because I get nervous.
I speak also German and sometimes when I speak in English, words come first in German in my head because I'm used to German language more than to English language.
Thank you so much for your videos Tanya.
Thank you Laura for your video... It is what I have been looking for!
Glad it was helpful!
I really liked the way the teacher taught about how to think in English and to stop translating.
Thank you so much!
..love to be back to you Tanya. You're helping us to be more familiar with being native.
You are so welcome! Great to see you here in the comments!

I am so glad to hear that! Welcome! Thank you for watching! Be sure to subscribe!
Ms. Tanya is so kind and friendly. I love the way she talk. Thanks Teacher a lot!
Thank you! 😃
Definitely imagining the meaning and the orign of the word helps me to memorize the word and for me English and Portuguese words are now synonymous. So when I need to speak in each language I only use one or another
It's so great to hear that you have found a way that works for you! Thank you for commenting!
Thanks Tanya. It is a good idea to warm up our brain before conversation. I use to watch English UA-cam everyday to keep my learning on going. I don’t know how much do I get every time, but I want to get a vibe of English.
Thank you for your comment, Connie. Great way to say this, "to get a vibe of English".

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate your comment!
Yes, that's exactly what I do most of the time 😀 I've been learning English for years and I still translate in my head, you're right ! When I feel comfortable I rarely translate in my head and when I feel tired, I translate in my head all the time 😀

Fantastic! You are the teacher I was searching for. Thanks
I'm so glad you found my channel! Welcome!
For me personally also works (to switch in english thinking): writing short essays, comments or similar about a subject (job context, news...) present it to a friend, who asks questions afterwards. So I practise to express thoughts and concentrate on the question and the other person
This is a great way to practice your English. Keep up the good work!
Great tips Tanya¡¡. It sound good "warm up your brain before speaking english". I usually watch videos on you tube for ten or fifteen minutes. I try do it every day but I´m still traslating english spoken in my brain... :(. Thanks a lot and have a productive morning¡. Greetings from Spain. Jose.
Keep practicing. Consistency and studying helps us to become more fluent!
I really that what I tried to do, stop thinking in my native language. I appreciate your advice ⚘️
You can do it! Thank you for your comment!
สวัสดีค่ะ ฉันคนไทยในอเมริกา พูดภาษาอังกฤษได้นิดเดียว และตอนนี้ฉันกำลังเรียนไปกับคุณ มันดีมากๆ ฉันพยายามทำตามที่คุณบอก คิดเป็นภาษาอังกฤษและไม่แปลเป็นภาษาไทย ฉันเข้าใจในสิ่งที่คุณพูด ขอบคุณมาก มันเยี่ยมเลยละ
Hello! I'm sorry, I don't speak this language. Can you write it in English or Spanish?
You are very kind and nice. I must improve a lot of things, but my listening is my worst hability. However, I could understand you 80% of your speech. It happened because you speak slowly to help us.
Thanks so much!
That's great! Keep watching and listening and soon you will be understanding 100%
Hi Tanya. Thank you so much for this video. This video is very useful for me. I used to work english to turkish dictionary but now I have worked english to english. I should say this is hard however I'm learning a lot of words.
Hi Kadir! That's great! It is harder but it is going to really help you!

I love this teacher, her classes helped me a los. Thanks
You're welcome and Thank you for watching!
I never "think" in the language I speak!! Flowing is the word to me. I speak Portuguese as a native, and I just don't "think" or we've got to find new words to explain this psychological process.
Flowing is a great word! Thank you for sharing your flow!
Thank you teacher❤️
You're welcome 😊 Great to see you on the live today!
@@EnglishCoach3Ts you are so succesful teacher. İ am so happy because found to you🥺❤️ and i am so sorry for my English grammer mistakes 🥲
I get a new way of how to learn English well. Thank you for explaining the subject.
You're welcome and Thank you for watching! Please share our videos with your friends!
I always tell my students not to be afraid of making mistakes while speaking. Otherwise you can’t express your thoughts in English. Think always in English while expressing your thoughts.
Hi! I like your idea, I am usual I práctice speeking by myself, I like how you are explained the words that's a nice way to talk, in English, I need stop and think about the words that I was pronounced .😀
Sometimes slowing down helps us to go faster!
I Felt Very well watching This video. I ' ve understood every word without subtitle 🥰
That's great! Try some of our other videos too and don't forget to subscribe1
Hello dear Emily. Let's communicate really. I will be thanks you for it helps.
I agree with you, I became more comfortable in spanish when I allowed myself to make mistakes. Before I would not speak if I was not 100% sure of all the words (especially the verbs used at the right tense...). At first, I used the present but specified "yesterday, I am walking in a park". This is a good way to speak even if you know all is not correct. People understand and it allows you to be more comfortable. I do not know why but, for me, english has always been easier. One of the best ways to think in english is to read in english without looking up at all the words, only the ones coming back very often. Sorry, you may have mentioned this tip but I only listened to a few minutes today. Thank you for your lessons, they are great to refresh my memory!
Thank you for your comment and suggestions. I hope you will have time to listen to more soon!
Hi, Tanya. I am originally from Belarus, but I am living in US for years. Watching and will forward u video to my daughter in law. Thanks for video. Very helpful.
Maryna, welcome! And thank you so much for sharing our videos. I really appreciate that!
The most important, and was the reason for my subscription, was the the way you pronounced the word “comfortable” dividing it in syllables, THAT HELPS A LOT pronouncing correctly, gaining confidence.
Thanks a lot.
I am so glad that was helpful. I hope you find a lot more help here!
Thanks a lot! Can you also make a video about phrases and commons conversations to talk with a kid? That would be much helpful to bilingual languages kid
This is such a great idea. I will put it on the list. Honestly, the list is kind of long but I will get to it. Best wishes!
The best teacher in the world, i love how you teach us and give us the many informations about English language. thank you teacher.

You're welcome, Mamallan. Glad to have another teacher here in our learning community!
Korean is completely opposite to English. So translation is somewhat unavoidable I think. But the name of the game is how to reduce the time to do it to the maximum. Thank you for your insight and tips.
Great use of the phrase, "the name of the game".
Hello!! This is Seungbin. I firstly watched your youtube today. The order of Korean language is perfectly different from English, so I always translate in my head before speaking in English. Title of this video interested me. I hope your contents helps me a lot!! Thank you so much for your good teaching!

Hi Nora! It's great to see you here again. It looks like you are practicing your English regularly. Keep doing that and you will reach your goal!
Thanks for sharing your personal experience in learning how to improve a second language skill. It closes the gap between teacher and student because we're learning from someone who knows our difficulties. I listen and read more than I write. What can I do to improve that skill? Can you recommend some site or channel or podcast where I can learn about english grammar? Thanks. Marcos from Brazil
Marcos, thank you for your comment. I also listen and read more than I write. I would suggest getting a list of conversations and answering one question a day in a journal. This helps me. Also, Teacher Tianna on our team teaches writing. Let me know if you are interested in a one on one writing class.
@@EnglishCoach3Ts I didn't understand your suggestion. Could you explain that giving some example, please. In relation to the writing classes I cannot afford one at the moment. Maybe when things are better for me. Thank you for your kindness.
There are so many good grammar teachers on UA-cam. Just write a question ‘The verb to be’ then look it up.
@@angela64355 thanks for your advice.😉
You are wonderful, thank you very much for every thing. ❤

Hi, there! I'm Adriano and I'm from Brazil. I try not to translate in my head. I do try to think in English. I found your video today.Thanks for sharing it!
By the way, I'm teaching italian to myself as well. I think a good way to think in English is by reading a lot or watching movies, e.g. when I'm reading in English my brain switches from portuguese into english, would you agree with me?
Yes. I agree! Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your experience in a comment!
@@EnglishCoach3Ts My pleasure!
Hello teacher, how's it going? I'm Willian from Brazil, your videos are amazing, I don't have words to describe how incredibly you guys have gone in my English life. I've been studying English on my own for 4 years, and now I try don't translate to from Portuguese to English, in my mind, for 1 reason. I don't have time to do it. Currently, working in an International call center, I need to listen to my customers, understand them and then speak with them straight away. No time to translate from my native to my second language.
Hi Willian! Nice to meet you! I am so glad you are here in our English learning community! You are doing a great job of learning English on your own. Keep up the great work!

Se você encontrar pessoas com inteligência emocional, para te ouvir e quer te ajudar é ótimo 👍 Porém se encontrar pessoas que se acham Melhores do que você, aí você terá uma experiência ruim 👎

@@EnglishCoach3Ts he said: if you found peoples whit emocional inteligence to learn you and help it's good.

Your technic of thinking in english is needed for communication as in other languages, really. I first realized this tactic about 20 years ago when I'd stayed among English-speaking tourists on Koh-Toa 🏝 island for 3-4 days. After that I automatically started thinking in English instead of translation from my Thai language to English. So for me..
1-memorize new words without translations to your native language.
2-practice pronunciations clearly like stress, high-low intonations ,linking sound of alphabets etc.
3-practice listening in only 1-2 accents as British, US.firstly.
4-should find situations that we have to communicate only in english etc. for more than 5-7 days to realize some technics by yourselves.
I like you teach neatly in pronunciation of words " comfortable " and practice readings without translation, too.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you for your comment and for sharing these ideas with other students! This is a very useful comment!
