Needless to say, I struggled with conversation. And I know this is true of my students who are learning English too. Even my intermediate and advanced students.\u00a0\u00a0So\u00a0let\u2019s work on that. What if you could start thinking more in English and less in your native language when you wanted to? That\u2019s possible. There are real techniques to make that happen, and today we\u2019ll practice just 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=\"none\">This is part of a series of videos where I outline different techniques, training your mind to think in English and today we\u2019re using a more advanced technique, and\u00a0if you\u2019re not ready for that, I\u2019ll put a link to a more basic training video in the description.\u00a0\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=\"none\">Today we\u2019re hitting you with conversational questions. You\u2019re going to see a timer, and it might make you nervous. If you can\u2019t think of a sentence in English, just\u00a0think of words\u00a0that you would use in your answer.\u00a0\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=\"none\">For example, if the question is \u201chow did you celebrate New Year\u2019s?\u201d you could come up with: Nothing. Covid-19. Home. No champagne. Video call.\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=\"none\">Or, if you can put together a full sentence, you might think:<\/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=\"none\">Because of covid-19, we all stayed in this year.\u00a0 It was just a regular evening at home. We didn\u2019t drink champagne, we didn\u2019t stay up until midnight, but we did do a video call with some friends.<\/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=\"none\">Now, often, I\u2019m trying to get my students to practice speaking.\u00a0 Out loud, everything, but this is a little different. We want to work on the habit of the brain thinking in English.\u00a0 So just think it in your head.\u00a0 You are not coming up with your sentence in your native language and then translating; we don\u2019t want to practice that.\u00a0 We want to avoid that.\u00a0\u00a0So\u00a0think in English only, and if you have to simplify what you\u2019re doing to do that, then stay away from full sentences.\u00a0 If a word in your native language, no big deal, let it go.\u00a0 Guide your mind back to English.<\/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=\"none\">English, English,\u00a0English.<\/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=\"none\">Let\u2019s do one question, then we\u2019ll talk a bit more about strategies.\u00a0\u00a0So\u00a0I\u2019m going to ask you a question, and you\u2019ll have 10 seconds to think of your answer.\u00a0 My question is: Tell me something about your\u00a0hometown\u00a0I might not know.\u00a0\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=\"none\">How did you do? Did you feel nervous? On the spot? Since you\u2019re watching this video in English, I know you know enough about English, you have enough English skills to think of at least think of a few words associated with the question in English. And if you were able to answer that question in a\u00a0conversational sentence and maybe you were still going when the timer was over, awesome! You\u2019re pretty advanced in your skill.\u00a0 But no matter where you\u2019re starting, if you\u2019re not yet at your goal, intentional practice thinking in English, like we\u2019ll do today, we\u2019ll move you towards your goal.\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=\"none\">If you have no idea what to say, then think that in your head, in English.\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=\"none\">Hmm, I don\u2019t know how to answer that question. I don\u2019t know what to say\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=\"none\">Just think it in English.\u00a0\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=\"none\">Ok, here\u2019s another question: What\u2019s one thing you hope to achieve this year?\u201d<\/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=\"none\">You may have started your answer with \u201cI hope to\u201d, \u201cI want to\u201d, \u201cI plan to\u201d, or \u201cI will\u201d.\u00a0 Or maybe, \u201cOne of my goals is.\u201d Here\u2019s my answer:\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=\"none\">One of my goals this year is to get to know some of my YouTube audience a little more personally through my YouTube membership \u2013 Hmmm, they might not know about it, I should tell them to\u00a0click the\u00a0join video below this video.<\/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=\"none\">Remember: some of you can put together endless sentences in English, and some can\u2019t. Wherever you are, build on that.\u00a0 If you can only come up with a few words, that\u2019s okay. At the end of this video, I\u2019ll tell you how to build on that.\u00a0\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=\"none\">Now I\u2019m going to give you three minutes of questions in a row. This is a good place to figure out your stamina for this kind of exercise. The questions will just keep coming at you.\u00a0 Can you stick with it?\u00a0 If you get frustrated, just wait for the next question.\u00a0 Each question is a chance to start new, bringing up a few words in English in your mind that relate to that question.\u00a0\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=\"none\">Ok, ready? Take a deep breath, let\u2019s do this.\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=\"none\">What were you doing this time last year?<\/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=\"none\">Describe one of your best friends.\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=\"none\">Name five things you\u2019ve done today.\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=\"none\">Why do you want to work on your English skills?<\/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=\"none\">Tell me about one thing that you love about your job.\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=\"none\">Tell me one thing you hate about your job.\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=\"none\">What do you think is the greatest TV show of all time, and why?<\/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=\"none\">Who are some of your favorite YouTubers, and why do you watch them?<\/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=\"none\">Are you satisfied with your financial situation, and, yes or no, why?<\/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=\"none\">You\u2019re going to be trapped on a desert island for 1 year and you can take one person with you.

Actually, really quickly, first, I want to let you know that just two months ago, we launched a Think in\u00a0English course as part of my online school, Rachel\u2019s English Academy. My school focuses heavily on accent training, listening comprehension and spoken English skills. But we recognize that being able to\u00a0think in\u00a0English is an important part of that so we\u2019ve added a course to help you train your mind with exercises like this one here to\u00a0think in\u00a0English on a regular basis. If you might be interested in this, please check out rachelsenglishacademy.com and sign up, I would love to have you as a student.\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=\"none\">Okay, let\u2019s talk about some strategies. First, let\u2019s start with people who found it very hard to think in full sentences in English.\u00a0 You should probably spend some time going back a step, to a\u00a0more simple\u00a0exercise of naming objects.\u00a0 You can move on to verbs too.\u00a0 For example, if you see someone:<\/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=\"none\">You can think arm and\u00a0scratch. Then you\u2019ll have the building blocks for \u201cShe\u2019s\u00a0scratching her arm.\u201d\u00a0 And as you look around you, and you\u2019re naming nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs, if you don\u2019t know the English word for something, look it up in the dictionary, learn it, add it to your vocabulary list.\u00a0 In this video I do that kind of exercise with you.<\/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=\"none\">If you can think in sentences, but you want to get more sophisticated, then you\u2019ll want to do some exercises where you are speaking out loud, recording your answers. Then you can go back and listen or watch your videos and find words that you use over and over again, look up synonyms, a different way to say something, now that you\u2019re taking the time to figure it out.\u00a0 You can use an online random question generator to give you prompts as you record yourself.\u00a0 Take the challenge a little bit further. Record a 10-second answer in a video, post it to your Instagram stories, and tag me in it so I can share it.\u00a0 Let\u2019s all do the work, and watch and support each other doing the work.\u00a0\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=\"none\">Make this a daily practice and I guarantee you\u2019ll get more comfortable thinking in English and in English conversation.\u00a0 It\u2019s all about practicing spontaneously.\u00a0 When you don\u2019t know what question is coming, you have to think on your feet.\u00a0 You can only use what you know, there\u2019s no time to look something up.\u00a0\u00a0So\u00a0you\u2019ll get better at using what you know, and finding the gaps in what you know.\u00a0 And I can\u2019t wait to have you build your confidence in English conversation.\u00a0\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=\"none\">Right now, keep your learning going with this video, and don\u2019t forget to subscribe with notifications on so you never miss a lesson.
