Do You Think in English?
Well, thinking in English is the first step towards learning English as a language. Let’s see how do we work on that.
1. How do we start thinking in English?
At the initial stage, all we do is translate the Local Language to the English Language. Now the problem is when we translate, we first think in a local language, but we want to believe in the English language itself.
Sometimes there will be a mix-up of both the languages (You combine two different languages when you are thinking about something)
Now the KEY to think in English is to focus on your English Language Slowly and Gradually, which will boost your thinking capability and potential of English proficiency.
Just consider that you are simply shifting your thoughts from the Local Language to English. After a time, you will notice that your local language thoughts have decreased, and the English Language is becoming more convenient and easy.
2. What kind of Challenges do we Face?
We face a challenge to increase the ratio of thinking in English compared to the Local Language, also we are so comfortable thinking in our mother tongue, and it takes efforts to train our mind to think in English.
It may make you irritate, annoying, enflaming, uncomfortable at First, and then, over some time, you get habituated.
You might be living in an environment where English usage is minimal; there you feel a gap, this is where you need to expose yourself to English continually.
(OR) create an environment where people around you speak in English. In this case, you will learn fast, and it will be accessible compared to the earlier one.
3. How to develop the habit of thinking in English?
The simple technique is to start Speaking to YOURSELF, which we often do many a time. By this, you develop a habit of speaking to yourself in English since no one can judge you even if you commit some mistakes.
We need to do this because you create an English environment that will provide internal exposure to English. (i.e., Exposing English to yourself)
4. How to know you are progressing.
In a matter of time, you will experience how you have cultivated the habit of English, where you don’t have to struggle or crack your head to think in English. Everything will be happening automatically without any push. Remember to Keep consistency in Thinking in English.
