How to THINK in English - Part 2

May 27, 2022

Have small Conversations with yourself in English

Some significant advantages of using this technique are that you will not feel pressured to speak quickly, come up with the next thing to say, and keep the pace slow and relaxed.

If this step is proving challenging for you: do not give up! Practice, practice, practice! Set aside just two minutes a day to practice. Remember, the conversation does not need to be complicated. It can be as simple as you need it to be.

Change an item you use every day to English

  • Switch your calendar to English – if you use a calendar to plan your days, start planning in English.
  • Make To-Do Lists in English.
  • When going shopping, write down your grocery list in English.
  • Try using search engines in English.
  • Read a blog post in English.
  • Listen to a news broadcast in English.
  • Consider learning a simple skill in English. For example, how to make French Toast.
