I never saw a English teacher like you. You're so far, but It seems you're by our side, talking about this language naturally. Congratulations for your good job! Sure you help meny people around the world. Thanks Keith!
Hello! I'm from Brazil and I am loving your classes! Your are FANTASTIC! Thank you so much. I found out your videos recently and I'm learning and improving a lot my English day by day. I thinked that I have a long way ahead, but you shortened! Thanks!
I can think in English, but I can´t speak fluently yet. When I was a beginner English student I didn't like to use a monolingual English to English dictionary I found it hard and frustraiting, but now I can say I prefer using a monolingual English dictionary, I find it more exiting, I think my brain has changed it is thinking in English much more than before.
I choose to be surrounded by English everyday through watching Netflix with English subtitle. This way do work for me because i am not feel it as a subject anymore, but i am really immersed myself into English and enjoyed it!
Hi Keith, sorry to hear about your leg. But it good to know that you are feeling better now. Thank you very much for all the hard work you do for us. Have a nice day!
Even think single words try small then build up try to think in english so that you can improve your fluency Use simple english ignoring your native language thank you so much mr keiths my best cmpliments
You speak slowly enough to help beginner students follow, catch and understand what you are saying. What a friendly teacher! I want to share a little. After a long time, I have learned English I recognized that we only need to do one thing to become better. Repetion. In your free time, turning on any videos as long as you prefer on RUclips to watch, repeat, mimicking the speaker in video. You can read newspapers as well. But in my opinion, the BBC and CNN are quite difficult. I also don't pay much attention to it. Instead, I read English local news because this news provides closer and useful information to my life. Good luck!
Hi!!! As a student who are just starting prepare for the academic IELTS. I am feel so so happy about I found this video, and I want to give you a big big thank you. Your course is so funny and I don't skip any second in this video! Your tips are also very helpful too! Giving me a lot of confidence that I lack of, start small and build up! This gives me a very huge power to let me can keep struggle with the test!
Teacher, I really love your method! I can assure you that it works because I discovered this by myself about two years ago during the pandemic when I decided improve my old bad English! I intuitively did exactly so! I'm not English teacher, I'm telecommunications specialist, Brasilian and Portuguese, living in Brazil, and now i recommend your channel for all my friends! Another way to improve English is post comments in foreigners social networks!
I am a South Sudanese recently move to Canada . I have started following your Videos in RUclips and I learned a lot and I believe my English is improving . Thank you .
You are a great teacher. I don't talk in English or write. But i understand your every single word. You know what, how did i found your channel? I am from Bangladesh. Your RUclips channel suggested the most popular coaching center in our country. I really enjoy your video and also teaching from your video. This video is amazing. A student gets help from your channel.
Hello Keith , as a fresh graduate student here in the Philippines , i struggled a lot finding a stable job. I'm trying to apply to a call center job but my english isn't good enough to pass the interview thats why im here to learn from you through your videos and i really appreciate your teaching . I hope you won't get tired of teaching everyone 🙂
This is my two cents for you. Learn the vocabulary and meaning of the words. Grammar of course. Because what matters is that u speak, read and write English correctly. The accent is something else. Someone told me once to read outloud when you're alone. Because u are gonna be listening to yourself get use to it and are going to loose the fear of speaking. You also will be working in your accent. Don't be afraid I live in the U.S. and for some reason I've sometimes got transfered calls to people in the Phillipines, Colombia etc. And what actually for me matters is not a perfect English speaker. I just want them to help w. whatever I need. Matter of fact I am still learning my English. And right now I am trying to help you. And I am practicing at the same time. Take care.
I have a same situation like u, i am still looking for a customer services job in Pakistan who engage with US and UK clients. So what do you think if we become friend to help each other just for learning English ? Becoz if we do work as told by teacher with each other we will be prepare our self as a fluent in English. I am just waiting for your reply.
Great video Keith, they're all good advices, I've been speaking english with myself at home for many years, my husband and sons think I'm getting crazy, haha. I'd like to share a game I do to improve my "english moments" to fluency. All I need is 3 minutes and a serie of topics. I answer the questions in just a minute while I'm recording them with my phone. Next minute I listen and focus on improving areas, sometimes is grammar, pronuciation, etc... after that, the last minute I try to build a new answer, trying not to make the same mistakes. It works, it's fun, and perfect if you don't have time. I hope this idea can help anyone. Keith I also hope you get well soon.
I love watching your videos, I like the way you talk, you have such a great sense of humor. Your videos are super easy to understand and you have done very well with all those kinds of video editing. The lessons are really approachable, thank you very much.
I am from Bangladesh. Our mother tongue is Bangla.This is first time to watch your video that is very helpful for improving English language.From now, I will apply this method. This method of learning English will be the best formula in improving English language.I have subscribed your English Speaking Success for watching the rest videos.
I highlighted and use diary writing and talking to myself out loud. Some new tips for me were describing things around me, staying monolingual, and using words I already know. So, my list of practices has expanded!
Hi , I just got to know to you. To me , your tips and the teaching methods which you expressed in the video above are really, really advantageous for the English learners . You're one pf the best teachers who I've ever seen on You Tube . Hats off to you ❤❤❤
Hey, Keith, thank you for your wonderful videos. I have been watching your videos for years, but I binge watched a lot last November, and guess what? I got a 9 in my speaking test on 17th December, 2022! This particular video helped a lot!!!
I made a summary here. Hope it helps. "7 Smart Ways to Think in English" by Keith from the Keith Speaking Academy provides practical tips to help individuals think in English and improve their fluency. Keith discusses the challenges of breaking the habit of translating and emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with English, using familiar words, starting small and building up, talking to oneself, writing in English, practicing with others, and using a monolingual dictionary. Highlights 🎧 Surround yourself with English through activities like listening to podcasts, reading, and watching TV series or films in English. 📚 Use only words you already know when speaking in English to improve fluency and avoid relying on translations. 🏞 Start small by thinking in single words, then progress to collocations and phrases, using pictures or the environment around you. 🗣 Talk to yourself in English to reinforce the habit of thinking in the language and enhance fluency. ✍ Write in English, starting with simple tasks like making shopping lists or leaving notes, to reinforce thinking in English. 👥 Practice speaking with others, focusing on thinking in English during conversations, to improve communication skills. 📖 Switch to a monolingual dictionary to look up words in English, which forces you to think in the language and enhances language learning. Enjoy your thinking in English!
Thanks Keith. Your lesson is very useful for me. I use this method in learning English. I read the Bible out loud, pray, listen to sermons in English. I practice writing and talking with some people. All these things I do every day with increase like you said.
One of the most result-oriented tips that teachers ignore to mention and learners avoid is to listen to top-notch podcast (like Global news podcast), note down the necessary vocabulary and collocations, and then ,after listening, try to reproduce the subject or news that was discussed in the original podcast. This is a hard-to-do and daunting exercise but the beneficial outcome far outweigh the effort went into doing it in the first place.
These seven smart ways can be combined into one sentence. It sounds like this: if you want to learn a language, don't stop, but work, work and work every day! 🙂 thank you very much! Helpful as always!
Hi Keith its my pleasure.im lessening urs lecture from last 4 days.and I feel that I can improve my English.through urs friendly atmosphere.special thing is ur talking with my mind.and prepare my mind to talk English without feeling embarrassing.thanks I will continue to improve my English
Thank you Keith for this truly valuable video. I like it a lot. Any learner, beginner or advanced, can improve their language skills by incorporating simple habits - like thinking in a target language in their daily routine. My goal is to learn speak English fluently, to be able to drive my conversations effortlessly. I'm also learning Italian and Portuguese and I try to think in these languages for a few minutes a day. For now I can only think of simple words but hopefully, with more practice I'll be able to do the same as I do in English. Thank you so much, I always enjoy your videos 😊
I've watched so many of these "How to Think in English" videos in order to recommend one to my Korean university students, and this is the best one I've found. Thanks so much for making it.
Thanks for your efforts, u r the number one without doubt. I'm trying to improve my spoken english, and by watching your videos the learning process was accelerated and doubled.
For me to improving my English helps talking to yourself and practice conversation with my friends. Also I must learn new words every day and use these in some sentences. I'm thankful for u ❣
You are one of the great teacher i have ever Come across. I am a University student and i have a dream to have my post graduation in UK SO I am trying hard and soul to be a fluent Speaker. Keep ne in your prayers. Take love from Bangladesh ❣️❣️
Keith, thank you so much! Your tips are very useful. Putting it in practice is helping me a lot to improve my fluency. I thought I was crazy on talking to myself in English on the street. But you showed me it`s not just me and confirmed that it really helps getting more fluency and thinking in English. Hugs from Brazil!
It's a huge pleasure to come across your channel, Mr. O'Hare! I was so used to write down the translations of new words, so I doubted it's gonna work out if I'll focus only on the definitions in English instead. Although I've already heard that it's not the only approach to learn new words/collocations or phrases. Some time ago I was almost ready to get rid of translations but unfortunately I didn't have enough time to learn English with progress and to plan how exactly am I going to fill the blanks in my knowledge of grammar rules, what am I going to write, how am I going to improve my pronunciation and so on... So I often ended up just going with the flow. I realized that the most difficult and big step is to change your habits. I've already built a habit of reading articles and listening to lectures/lessons/scientific movies in English, and I'm completely satisfied with the result. Because I can explore new topics related to programming and physics/astronomy in English even by listening without subtitles and do not feel the language barrier. (when I finished school I've been struggling with listening comprehension a lot...) I'm making the next big step - to start thinking, writing and speaking every day. I was always afraid of speaking, though the last time I've tried, I've improved the skill. I see that for programmers in Ukraine there is no other way to get a job without speaking English, the HRs check your level during the interview and for some (unknown to me) reason, a lot of companies prefer discussing projects in video/audio format instead of writing text, so now I realize that I 100% need to develop this skill as well and I just can't let myself to be afraid anymore. Until that moment I've seen that speaking is good to activate your vocabulary but was hard to speak to myself when I didn't need to communicate with anyone in English, so it seemed weird to speak to myself and I didn't have enough motivation to come over my fear. Now, I'm really determined to move to the next level and aim to become a confident and fluent English speaker :)
Thanks for everything Mr. I am student i get some benefit ro reading your huge writing and was learning reading skill improvement because of your comment ,thanks sir again, good introduction.
When watching an English movie, particularly on Netflix, I write down phrases and mimic speaking them like how the character portrays or makes a sentence out of them.
Same here. I do it a lot and it really works. The last I wrote of "Breaking Bad". I had to watch the whole series closely and grab the phrases. I bet they are the game changers.
Surrounding myself with english has been very useful for me in the last months. Specially, my listening has improved so much! 🔥 Just discovered your channel, Keith! You're great!
I totally agree with all those things you said. In addition, I decided to forget my mistakes and facing them to improve my English skills, so becoming more confident constantly.
You are the best teacher in the world. I’m waiting for your nice vedio which helps to improve in our studies. Thanks teacher for your incredible vedios. ❤️🇮🇳 Kerala
Keith, you are a great teacher but not like teachers, you are like the best friend who really helps wholeheartedly to people those who like to improve their English speaking skills. Thanks for all your time and tremendous efforts. TESEKKURLER.. With love from TURKEY.
I am new here to connect with ur thoughts nd I like the way u explain English. It seems like very easy to lear. I am a housewife and want to improve my English to communicate with people in English. Than u so much sir for helping a lots of people. Namaste🙏🏻

Namasthe🙏 I love your class.you explained many different methods for improving english.in daily i watching your channel.you are a good trianiner.god bless you sir.
I'm so impressed by your simplicity in teaching and explaining. Additionally, the advice you present, they are tremendously useful and extremely significant. 🍂My mature Keith with the soul of a little angel 🌾
1) Surround yourself with English (10 -30 mins everyday): movies, podcasts, books... - listen passively - repeat words, phrases you hear 2) Only use words you know If you lack words to impress: - paraphrase - speak sth else (let the idea go) 3) Start small and build up - look at a picture and ''think'' the things you can see or look around and try to describe things you see on your head ( do it as a daily habit) - build up phrases, collocations or sentences 4) Talk to yourself (about your plan for the day, an activity that you are doing, review your day...) 5) Write in English (a diary, a note...) 6) Practice with others 7) Be monolingual ( use monolingual dictionary) - there is no such thing as a free lunch=you have to pay to get some benefits - the proof is in the pudding=only when you do sth, can you know if it works
I just discvered this channel.I was looking foor daily steps to be fluent in english.These tips fit me .All of them .But my favourite tips are 'use words already you know 'and' start small and build up' .I am following this channel ,Recomending it
@@dhirujha4966 hi, I'm sorry but don't have an idea about the information in your country. I'm from the Philippines. Here, if we want to migrate or study abroad, we will go to a consulting agency. It will cost us quite a large amount, for the agency fee and the cost of migrating or study abroad. The estimated minimum amount to spend is Canadian$10,000.This will not include the airfare, housing allowance, plus proof of income. I hope this helps!
Hi Mr.Keith: By pure chance I have known about you, believe me, I am impressed about the way how you teach english.By the way, I am 60 years old and my english is a big disaster, but I want to improve it.Please, I would like to learn about your training courses.Best regards Adolfo.Thanks
@@EnglishSpeakingSuccess Thank you so much for all you have done for us. I really learned a lot from your post. Take care, hope you get recovered soon!
Keith, you are so right by saying to keep the language simple, using a complex vocabulary when you don't have the basis, is just a car crash and that's one of the reasons why children learn faster, because they use elementary words. When I first started English I was given fairy tales to read, because the language was simple, then from there you build up.
I guess I will learn English with u certainly.I couldn't learn among my school life.(Total 12 years)really you doing help to me.everyday I listen your video so I can improve my listening english.thank u for everythings.👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Wow.wow.your explain is fantastic Mr Keth.thank you very much ..can you help me .i will pass IELTS exam after two month from now to make interview to get job and to get score 4.5 at 4 skills (IELTS).
Teacher, I really love your method! I can assure you that it works because i discovered this by myself about tow years ago during the pandemic when I decided improve my old bad English! I intuitively did exactly so! I am not English teacher, I am telecommunications
The best way for me is watching your videos in yt, reducing their speed. I get almost the whole meaning....and i am happy. Soon I am sure I will return to normal speed 😁
Honestly speaking, when i was learning English. I always speak words in mind during my work and house chores whatever going in my mind , initially It was difficult for me bcoz it took enough time to translate my native word in English but at end i become expert to speak
I'm from cartagena Colombia. And i can understend and the better of that i'm building up My English skill watching your videos. Thanks to You teacher. Have a great day 🙏🙏

These seven smart ways can be combined into one sentence. It sounds like this: if you want to learn a language, don't stop, but work, work and work every day! 🙂 thank you very much! Helpful as always!
Mmm
This is my favorite learning English RUclips channel.
Hi Keith its my pleasure.im lessening urs lecture from last 4 days.and I feel that I can improve my English.through urs friendly atmosphere.special thing is ur talking with my mind.and prepare my mind to talk English without feeling embarrassing.thanks I will continue to improve my English
I have never seen a teacher like you! really appreciate your teaching methods.
Discovering your channel is the best thing that happened to me today! Thank you for making intriguing and informative lessons
Thank you Keith for this truly valuable video. I like it a lot. Any learner, beginner or advanced, can improve their language skills by incorporating simple habits - like thinking in a target language in their daily routine.
My goal is to learn speak English fluently, to be able to drive my conversations effortlessly.
I'm also learning Italian and Portuguese and I try to think in these languages for a few minutes a day. For now I can only think of simple words but hopefully, with more practice I'll be able to do the same as I do in English.
Thank you so much, I always enjoy your videos 😊
I've watched so many of these "How to Think in English" videos in order to recommend one to my Korean university students, and this is the best one I've found. Thanks so much for making it.
Thanks Keith, your learning on english is very useful and very understantavble for me from Indonesia 🇲🇨
Keith is a great teacher and he gives us enormous and amazing advices. Many, many thanks.
Thanks for your efforts, u r the number one without doubt. I'm trying to improve my spoken english, and by watching your videos the learning process was accelerated and doubled.
Good job Keith Sir I like your teaching and your behavior as well the way you deal with people very gently never show off yourself
Thank you
There any Chanel used to learn english ? @EnglishSpeakingSuccess
For me to improving my English helps talking to yourself and practice conversation with my friends. Also I must learn new words every day and use these in some sentences. I'm thankful for u ❣
You are one of the great teacher i have ever Come across. I am a University student and i have a dream to have my post graduation in UK SO I am trying hard and soul to be a fluent Speaker.
Keep ne in your prayers.
Take love from Bangladesh ❣️❣️
I've never seen such a good lesson. You are a tremendous teacher, thank you so much for all the knowledge you are giving us I appriciate it a lot.
Keith, thank you so much! Your tips are very useful. Putting it in practice is helping me a lot to improve my fluency. I thought I was crazy on talking to myself in English on the street. But you showed me it`s not just me and confirmed that it really helps getting more fluency and thinking in English. Hugs from Brazil!
It's a huge pleasure to come across your channel, Mr. O'Hare! I was so used to write down the translations of new words, so I doubted it's gonna work out if I'll focus only on the definitions in English instead. Although I've already heard that it's not the only approach to learn new words/collocations or phrases. Some time ago I was almost ready to get rid of translations but unfortunately I didn't have enough time to learn English with progress and to plan how exactly am I going to fill the blanks in my knowledge of grammar rules, what am I going to write, how am I going to improve my pronunciation and so on... So I often ended up just going with the flow. I realized that the most difficult and big step is to change your habits. I've already built a habit of reading articles and listening to lectures/lessons/scientific movies in English, and I'm completely satisfied with the result. Because I can explore new topics related to programming and physics/astronomy in English even by listening without subtitles and do not feel the language barrier. (when I finished school I've been struggling with listening comprehension a lot...) I'm making the next big step - to start thinking, writing and speaking every day. I was always afraid of speaking, though the last time I've tried, I've improved the skill. I see that for programmers in Ukraine there is no other way to get a job without speaking English, the HRs check your level during the interview and for some (unknown to me) reason, a lot of companies prefer discussing projects in video/audio format instead of writing text, so now I realize that I 100% need to develop this skill as well and I just can't let myself to be afraid anymore. Until that moment I've seen that speaking is good to activate your vocabulary but was hard to speak to myself when I didn't need to communicate with anyone in English, so it seemed weird to speak to myself and I didn't have enough motivation to come over my fear. Now, I'm really determined to move to the next level and aim to become a confident and fluent English speaker :)
Thanks for everything Mr. I am student i get some benefit ro reading your huge writing and was learning reading skill improvement because of your comment ,thanks sir again, good introduction.
I do this every day to improve my English:
1- Read in English
2-Listen in English
3 - I talk to my self in English
4 -Write some topics in English .
but i dunno how to learn vocabulary effectively to not lack of words so how to try to write something..😢
When watching an English movie, particularly on Netflix, I write down phrases and mimic speaking them like how the character portrays or makes a sentence out of them.
Same here. I do it a lot and it really works. The last I wrote of "Breaking Bad". I had to watch the whole series closely and grab the phrases. I bet they are the game changers.
Brilliant idea!

Hi Keith, do you have any app recommendation for english translations/dictionary? Probably offline stuff? Thanks.
I'm so impressed by your simplicity in teaching and explaining. Additionally, the advice you present, they are tremendously useful and extremely significant.
🍂My mature Keith with the soul of a little angel 🌾
1) Surround yourself with English (10 -30 mins everyday): movies, podcasts, books...
- listen passively
- repeat words, phrases you hear
2) Only use words you know
If you lack words to impress: - paraphrase
- speak sth else (let the idea go)
3) Start small and build up
- look at a picture and ''think'' the things you can see or look around and try to describe things you see on your head ( do it as a daily habit)
- build up phrases, collocations or sentences
4) Talk to yourself (about your plan for the day, an activity that you are doing, review your day...)
5) Write in English (a diary, a note...)
6) Practice with others
7) Be monolingual ( use monolingual dictionary)
- there is no such thing as a free lunch=you have to pay to get some benefits
- the proof is in the pudding=only when you do sth, can you know if it works
đừng trôi

What would be the cost of doing ma literature in approx from country like USA 🇺🇸 or canada in Indian rupees
Can I get a job there as soon as I complete my degree in literature. Shall I get a bank loan to study there
Please reply I need to ask u something very important
Hey Mary
Could you please help me regarding a kind of information
@@dhirujha4966 hi, I'm sorry but don't have an idea about the information in your country. I'm from the Philippines. Here, if we want to migrate or study abroad, we will go to a consulting agency. It will cost us quite a large amount, for the agency fee and the cost of migrating or study abroad. The estimated minimum amount to spend is Canadian$10,000.This will not include the airfare, housing allowance, plus proof of income. I hope this helps!

The best teacher I have got in my whole life in learning language. Thanks a lot Keith. Love from Bangladesh.
Hi Mr.Keith: By pure chance I have known about you, believe me, I am impressed about the way how you teach english.By the way, I am 60 years old and my english is a big disaster, but I want to improve it.Please, I would like to learn about your training courses.Best regards Adolfo.Thanks
Not only you can talk to yourself but also you can talk to God
Wow what an idea amazing sir❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
But God rarely reply. Then we still need to reply ourselves otherwise how we suppose to continue
the conversation 😮😊
Welcome back! It seems that you had a very good sleep.
Indeed
I am rested, although this was recorded before I went to hospital. But, yes 'on the mend' now - thanks!
@@EnglishSpeakingSuccess Thank you so much for all you have done for us. I really learned a lot from your post. Take care, hope you get recovered soon!
You are the best 🤩
how are you sir
all right ，you describe it very clearly，pretty usefull，thank you，I subscribe your channel。
Keith, you are so right by saying to keep the language simple, using a complex vocabulary when you don't have the basis, is just a car crash and that's one of the reasons why children learn faster, because they use elementary words. When I first started English I was given fairy tales to read, because the language was simple, then from there you build up.
I guess I will learn English with u certainly.I couldn't learn among my school life.(Total 12 years)really you doing help to me.everyday I listen your video so I can improve my listening english.thank u for everythings.👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
-10 minutes of listening, then make it 20m 30m..
-20 minutes of thinking
-talk simple English
That's the recipe for success right there!
yes, i totally agree!
Monolingual dictionary is such a great idea. Thanks, You're incredible

I love how in this video you still added Chinese to it
Thank you. It's quite the same way my dad had taught and made me do while I was still very young. I did and English became natural for me.
I am Korean, and I understand almost everything he says too. This is amazing because I can't understand the other speakers very well
2 sentences I remember all videos:
"only use the word you already know"
"start small and build up"
Assalamu aleykum teacher. 🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿
wa alaykum assalam my dear student!
Wa alaikomo salam , brother
