When you can build a habit for your brain thinking in English, it\u2019ll make\u00a0expressing yourself, English conversation so much easier and faster.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There are steps you can take to build this habit in your brain and today we\u2019re going to do exactly that.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I\u2019m also going to give you an assignment so you can keep going with this practice. Together, we\u2019re going to make awesome things happen for you.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And don\u2019t forget, if you like this video or you learn something new, please give it a thumbs up and don\u2019t forget to subscribe with notifications.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Did you know that there are actually step by step exercises that you can do to build your brain\u2019s habit of thinking in\u00a0English.\u00a0 You can practice anywhere because well, it\u2019s thinking, it\u2019s in your head. It\u2019s not like you need to practice out loud. Today we\u2019re focusing on training your brain to quickly go to English by focusing on words. Sometimes we do whole phrases but today we\u2019re just doing words. And if ever you can\u2019t think of one of the words, you don\u2019t know it, no problem. We\u2019ll go over everything.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Let\u2019s just start with me. For ten seconds, think of every word you can that describes what you see in English.\u00a0 They can be very basic words. Ready? Go.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There\u2019s\u00a0so many things you could have said.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Woman, hair, gray hair, gray streak, shirt, white with blue pattern, plain background, eyebrow, hairline, nostril, ear, ear lobe, neck, chin, jaw, lips, smile.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Maybe you went into words that describe things you can\u2019t see like teacher. Maybe even you use the word friend. Were any of these words new to you? Watch this part again, pause at the new word and make up a sentence using it. Close your eyes, think of a sentence, think the picture. This will help you remember. Now, the same thing only not me, do yourself.\u00a0Think words\u00a0in\u00a0\u00a0English\u00a0that describe your appearance. What you\u2019re wearing. Ten seconds. Go.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now we\u2019ll look at my<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0environment, where I am now, my office. It\u2019s a little bit messy, it always is no matter how hard I try.\u00a0So\u00a0this is a little seventeen second clip, a scan of my office.\u00a0\u00a0Let your mind\u00a0bring up all the English words for what you\u2019re seeing.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Now let\u2019s go over some of the words you may have said.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Tree, window, window sill, window pane, office chair, storage cube, light switch, blinds, power lines, tree, shelves, books, plants, planters, cactus. I have a lot of\u00a0plants\u00a0don\u2019t I? Maybe you notice I have some of them up on two yoga blocks. And some on mixing bowls I turned upside down. I even have a pair of tiny dumbbells so I can do a quick little ten-minute arm workouts when I need a break from work.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Laptop, door, door knob. What\u2019s this? It\u2019s a sign I put outside my door when I don\u2019t want to be disturbed. It\u2019s like a do not disturb sign, only since my kids can\u2019t read, it\u2019s just an X. What else?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Hinge, floor, baseboard, corner, rug, lights, equipment, cords, outlet, ring light, overhead lights, pull cords for my ceiling fan, magazine, glasses case, poster, flowers, vase, desk, stamps, tissues, papers, calendar, water bottle, hard drives, candle, lamp, coaster, computer, daybed, pillow, duvet, vent, wall, ceiling, fan.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And maybe you saw some things that I didn\u2019t even notice. Maybe some of the things you saw, you didn\u2019t know the English word for. And now you do. Now, you\u2019re going to do this for yourself, your own environment.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">An exercise like this is great because it\u2019s simple and it can have a couple of benefits. First, when you tell yourself I\u2019m going to think of these things in English. It trains your brain to do just that. To think in English without having to translate from your own native language.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The other benefit is you\u2019re building vocabulary that is incredibly useful to you. Because you\u2019re using words in your life relevant for you. For example, the word ring light. From my office is not relevant to most people but around you, everything is a word that it would be useful for you to know in English.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">First, do the exercise for just ten seconds where you name things in English, go!\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Now take a minute to look around your environment more, is there anything that\u00a0you don\u2019t know how to say in\u00a0English? Think just three of these things and look them up in a translator. Get the English word, think it a few times or say it. Look at the object. Close your eyes and visualize yourself making the scan around your room again. And thinking the word in English. If you have a method of tracking and learning vocabulary, add these new words to your list.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Now, let\u2019s take a scene from a movie. We\u2019re going to watch it together. It&#8217;s a short scene, it\u2019s full of objects. Tell your mind now, name the things you see in English. Let\u2019s watch.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Oh, hello.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Oh, hello.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Hi, how are you?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fine.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This scene by the way is from the movie \u201cGood Will Hunting\u201d. A few days ago, I posted on Instagram asking you to suggest movies, TV, even specific scenes to use to learn English and Good Will Hunting is a movie that came up. Thanks everyone for\u00a0your\u00a0suggestions.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Let\u2019s go back now and name some objects.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Okay, we have a lot of people. They all seem to be men in this shot. We\u2019re in a bar, I see a lot of baseball caps or baseball hats. He\u2019s wearing a jacket, these are taps, they\u2019re for pouring draft beer out of a keg. We have a lot of glasses. This looks like it might be an ashtray. You can\u2019t smoke in doors in the US anymore but this movie is pretty old. Pendant lights. There are a couple of neon signs. A string of colored lights. This guy has on a\u00a0watch. He just grabbed a glass of beer. We start to see another character. Woman. She\u2019s wearing a tank top. It could also be called a camisole. When a shirt or dress has really thin straps like this, we call them spaghetti straps.\u00a0 She has her hair on a ponytail.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Now we see another character. She has a bar barrette and you can see the part of her hair. She has on a T-shirt, it\u2019s striped. The flag above also has stripes. He has a cut on his face. He has a logo on his shirt. You can see her collarbone.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can get very detailed. And don\u2019t forget to look up words you don\u2019t know. This is such a great way to build your vocabulary. Your assignment is:\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Do this at least once tomorrow whether you\u2019re at home or somewhere totally new. Take a minute to think of the names of things around you In English. Then put in the comments below where you were when you did this exercise. And if you love it, do it every day. The more consistent you are with asking your mind to think in English, the easier for your mind to go there and respond in English. Now, we\u2019ll review all the words we went over together. See the object, read the word and think the word in your head. Build that connection.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thanks for learning with me, I really love teaching you. Keep your learning now with this video and don\u2019t forget to subscribe with that notification bell, I make new videos every Tuesday and I love to see you back here again.
