    I found your channel few days ago, probably because Im constantly searching for some information about how to learn English. Im especially interested in developing my skills of communication. Just like you said, i want to get out off my comfort zone and start to talk a lot. I set my goal to give maximum effort to do this, and we will see how its gonna end after one year. Why im typing it? Because you've opened my eyes on so many things! and im not talking only about this episode. Among many channels i tried to listen, your channel gives me most practical tips i can use in my journey. I appreciate that, and wish you the best. Maybe someday we can talk to each other.

    I used to translating on my mind, and it isn't only bad, it delays too much, by that, i'm reading books, listening music on english, i've changed my phone's language, i am watching movies, i am using english on almost all my environment, thank you so much thiago, as far as now, your content has served to myself a lot.

    • @teacher.thiagoalencar

    Thank you very much Thiago. Listening to you is so relaxing. I understand almost everything and your advices are been useful for me. In a previous video you mentioned about encourage to have a interview in English even we don't feel as a fluent person, and I've done that. I will have an interview the next Tuesday, it will be my first time and I think it doesn't matter what will happen, I'll try it.

    Hi Thiago, I really enjoy your videos and podcasts. These are the best that I have ever watched or listened to. I can't imagine the time you have spent on learning English to get this proficiency level as a Brazilian man. You are a high source of motivation and a model to follow. Well done!! Thanks a bunch. Greetings from Belgium.

    Thank you, teacher Thiago! Your video came at the right time and really hit the nail on the head about what I am struggling with! 👍However, when talking about the ideas of stopping translating in the head, I am more curious about how interpreters, who have to translate a language to another in real-time, manage with it.

    • @teacher.thiagoalencar
      @teacher.thiagoalencar  6 місяців тому

      I'm not an interpreter, but I would imagine it must be an entirely different thought process. I might bring an interpreter on the podcast eventually for an interview. Thanks for watching!

    First, I'd like to say that I have been following you since the other podcast... and I have you as a great example when it comes to Brazilian speaking English. You communicate clearly and objectively that seems to be easy to speak in English, anyway, so I know the long path to go and ignore some errors during my writing.

  • @fardeenkhan3108
    @fardeenkhan3108 6 місяців тому

    I directly started thinking in english without translating in my head but the problem is that i can't think as clearly as i could think in my native language, sometimes while thinking in english i mostly miss and fail to think of the most important part of my thoughts in english but when i try to repeat thinking of the same thought in my language, i find out that this is the main information that i had been struggling to express by thinking in english........
    So i'd like to ask ,How can i improve this without being dependent on translation ?

    Thiago tenho uma dúvida que não consigo encontrar a resposta: qual a diferença de willing e feel like. No sentido de ter disposição ou vontade, ambas são intercambiáveis? Ótimo conteúdo sou seu fan.

    • @conta7619
      @conta7619 6 місяців тому +1

      Bom, o "willing" é um adjetivo, exemplo: he is willing to help me (ele está *disposto* a me ajudar);
      já o feel like deve ser usado como verbo, exemplo:
      I feel like eating an apple (não coloco um tradução aqui pq em português a gente acaba falando "estou com vontade" e isso pode causar uma confusão por causa do "to be" 😂);
      Em fim, pense que o feel like poderia ser um "want to".

    Hi Thiago, thank you for excellent video, I was wondering about translation for B2 level, I use Cambridge dictionary with english Spanish option, for me its easier to rear de Spanish meaning instead to try to understand the meaning reading the definition. An extra help. what do you think?

    • @teacher.thiagoalencar
      @teacher.thiagoalencar  6 місяців тому +1

      Hey, there! If you are already at B2 level, I would recommend using the English-English dictionary. Reading the definition in English will force you to start thinking more in English. At this level, I would recommend using translation only as a last resort.

    • @kosmicgame
      @kosmicgame 6 місяців тому

      ​@@teacher.thiagoalencar thank you, a good resource is asking to chatgpt about the meaning of the word in the phrase, all in English, and the last resource translation, xD. Like you said in your video I always try to verify translating, but I'm gonna avoid it.

    Thiago what is your native language??

  • @hcm9999
    @hcm9999 6 місяців тому

    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.

    I tried to watch the newest videos from Reallife English but it turned out that since you left the Ethan's channel and they hired that another Brazilian guy, that I don't recall his name at all. The podcast went downhill, since he does not transmit the same empathy as you do to our, your viewers or students. He sounds arrogant and I feel unsettled whenever he is taking part of it. Luckily we have the opportunity of listening to you through your personal channel. I wish you the best.
