  • A common questions I hear from English learners is, "How do I stop translating in my head?" It's a great question. I understand the frustration. You're doing all this hard work to learn English and your brain still wants to translate everything you hear, or translate before you speak. It would be so nice if you could just think in English and not be slowed down by translating in your mind all the time.
    🌻🌼💐 Jen has a RUclips channel too! Come and see: / @myflowerfarm
    I think these tips will help a lot. In this English lesson I'll go over 7 techniques that you can use to help avoid translating in your head, and to train your brain to stop doing it. You'll learn how to adjust some of your current learning strategies so that you reduce the amount of time you spend translating and spend more time communicating efficiently!
    In this English lesson you'll learn about Overloading, Oversaturating, Forced Description, Shadowing, Visualization, Using An English Only Dictionary, and Repetition.
    I hope you enjoyed this English lesson about how to stop translating in you mind and I hope it will help you a lot on your English learning journey! I hope it will also help you to start to think in English!
    Have a great day!
    ⌛ Remember: Always watch the video three times. Twice today with English subtitles on, and once tomorrow with the English subtitles off. This will reinforce the English you have learned!

    I have been trying to continue studying English since the last 3 years and still do. And one of the things I really recommend to everyone is to listen to Bob's Short English Lessons channel videos over and over again. In fact, I run the playlist over and over again while doing whatever, while running, while working out, when driving to work, when I have some free time at work, etc. I've listened to the entire playlist over five times and my goal is to listen to it at least sixteen times. A patient of mine who was an English teacher a few years ago told me that our brains need to be exposed to a new word at least sixteen times before we can remember and use it. So I said to myself, let me listen to Bob's short English lessons as long as I can and I'm on it.

      I need your assistance. I am currently a university student and I am now writing an article on the topic: Why do we have many English teachers but few competent ones.
      Thinking that adding expert opinions could improve the credibility, I wanted to ask for your viewpoint. Please, share your perspective on:
      1. Why do you think there's an abundance of English teachers, but few who are truly competent?
      2. What do you think needs to be done to address teachers' incompetence?

You know that the expressions of short lessons sound so acquainted with Portuguese expressions, even in a direct translation. For me, is very important to try not translate and understand your speech. Once again, thanks so much! I really enjoy your lessons! I'm an actual fan of them!

    Your video never fails to amaze me, Bob. I used to translate English in my mind while reading and listening when I was beginner and intermediate level. That sort of exhausted me while I remained at same level for quite long. But someday I found out that my brain ceased translation and started to think in English as my level progressed. And it also amazes me that I have adopted your recommendations and been practicing them unknowingly.
