If you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language for several hours each day. So it may become part of your "inner speech". In other (word), you start thinking in that language. Your mind stops (try) to translate things from your native language into the second language. But most of the English learners live in places where English is not the main language. This may be true for you. You may not have many chances to practice English. You may even (be) self taught.
Thinking in English really helps! It is not very difficult, it does need practice.Here we will share some mental exercises. A good first step is to think in words. Look around you.What do you see? In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings. Charles Thomas has taught English for over 10 years. He tells his students to name the things the y see around them, wherever they are.
Another exercise Thomas suggests is describing in your mind the objects that you don't know the words for. An example would be if you couldn't think of the word"garage". Thomas says, "If you're looking at your house and you see your garage, but you can't think of the name in English,you can say, ‘The place inside which I put my car', you can say, ‘It's next to my house. . I keep things there'."
The next exercise is thinking in (simply) sentences. For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell (you) things like, "It's such a beautiful day" and "People are playing sports with their friends". You can also describe your daily (activity). Thomas asks his students to describe their day using the simple present verb form. So,they would think to themselves things like,"I put on my shirt"and"He drives the bus".
How much time should you spend on these exercises? Thomas says you do a little every day."When you make things a habit, then it just pops up into your mind without (think)and then, before you know it, really, you're thinking in English."
