Hello dear friends, hope you are well and have a great start of the week. Today I want to talk about a super interesting topic and that is something important for us people who are trying to speak English, who are students, and it is nothing more than LEARNING TO THINK IN ENGLISH, something a little difficult at the beginning, it is all about practice and creating routines, here I bring you some tips that can help you to make it easier.

First of all, we must LISTEN IN ENGLISH, even if we don't understand what we hear, it is very important to create this routine and listen to something in English every day, at least 10 to 20 minutes a day. This way your brain will adapt to a new language.

Secondly, SEE IMAGES WHILE LISTENING TO SOMETHING IN ENGLISH, why? to be able to connect what you hear and learn with images, that will help us to stop looking for the word in our mind but our brain will make the connection immediately with the image and that will give us its meaning. For example, the word work, we can make a drawing or look for an image in our computer and that is how we should start studying, WITH IMAGES!!!

You can also make flashcards and put all your vocabulary there, using images in order to connect our brain with English.

Thirdly, ANSWER QUESTIONS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, in order to avoid translating in our mind, even if we make a mistake, the important thing is to answer as quickly as possible to stop thinking in Spanish. We can do this exercise at home, look for questions on the internet and try to answer as fast as possible. I think it is a good exercise.

And finally, try to think in English in the moments you have free time, if you are on the bus, if you are at home, in short, anywhere, think the things you want to say but in English. Generate sentences, that will help us to keep thinking in English and when we least imagine it, we will be dreaming in English.

I think they are strategies that will help us to improve our study, it is important to practice, if we don't do it we will never improve, this year I have that in mind, to improve my English, I need to be able to speak it much better and be able to communicate with other English speakers.

Thank you for reading my post, what other techniques do you use to improve your English?

Thank you

Hi friend @franyeligonzalez!
Very good tips that you present to us, I was particularly struck by the one about the images and the one about answering questions quickly even if we make mistakes. It is definitely necessary to dedicate time every day to improve and master the language step by step.

Hello dear friend, I found it interesting too. Greetings.

Excellent strategies to learn how to think and develop the brain to understand 2 or more languages, speak, see, listen all the time, excellent data.
thanks for sharing them, to put them into practice.

Thank you very much my friend.

hello @franyeligonzalez,
Being able to speak a second language is really difficult, but if we try every day we can get closer to the goal of speaking fluently. Another important point is that not everyone learns in the same way, so knowing how we learn and adapting it to our goal of speaking English will be much better than just trying to memorise English words.

Hello friend, practicing daily and including it in our daily life is the best option.

Greetings @ franyeligonzalez
