If you watch ONE video about thinking in English, it should be this one. Call them tricks, hacks, strategies, or advice, I’m going to help you to stop translating and start thinking in English right now. A lot of the reasons why you’re not becoming fluent in English, or not able to think in English, come from the way you think in general. At Go Natural English, I show you mind tricks for fluency.
Clear your mind and forget what you know about the world in your native language, and try learning vocabulary through meaning not through translation. For example, I was learning Portuguese in Brazil, and I went to a dance club. Someone asked, “Quer dancar?” so I could make an educated guess without pulling out my dictionary to translate that they were asking me to dance.
Try listening to talk radio stations in English (on the internet if you don’t live in an English-speaking country), and just listen even if you don’t understand what they’re saying. I did this for fun with a Norwegian station, and could instantly pick out that “yaah” meant “yea.” Your brain wants to pick out patterns and similarities, so let it do it’s job without thinking too hard about it!
Similarly, consuming any kind of content in English will help trick your mind into thinking more in English. Try watching programs in English (TV programs, Netflix, Hulu, Pluto etc). I prefer realistic shorter programs rather than fantasy movies, because they show more real-life conversation, and you can watch one in a shorter amount of time. See if you can identify some key phrases, their meanings, and then repeat them a few times to yourself to remember them!
When I was invited to give my TEDx talk in Portuguese in Portugal, I was so scared. Here’s what I did to prepare. Imagine with me for a moment that you are already fluent in English. Envisioning yourself in situations speaking fluently can actually build the confidence and motivation needed to improve your skills. So take a moment and see yourself doing something difficult all in English, like a presentation in front of hundreds of people!
Do LESS. Think in terms of doing or learning just ONE thing in English each day. Sometimes when we try to do too much, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and then you want to give up! It’s too stressful! So try doing the opposite. Tell yourself to do less.
Thinking in English means that you have INTERNALIZED the language. This is unlike translating, which means you are still approaching English as something outside that can only be accessed through translating your native language. If your goal is to think in English, you need to completely let go of translation and start learning through more organic, natural ways. Next week I’m going to make a video for you to test your fluency and see if you can really think in English, so be sure to subscribe to @gonaturalenglish
Thank you Gabby for all your videos. They are much helpful for me.
Happy New Year!
I liked seeing the subtitles in your video. It helps me learn more and better. Thanks
watching you alone doing some shadowing when I feel like improving my English communication gives me more confidence and strength
You have a knack for teaching! You rock!
Every day I watch yt american news, 20 minutes, I can understand near about 98%. I try to watch at least 2 or 3 different channels, the news are very the same, but each channel show up from different perspective and use different words.. After I listen Spotify news, GMA , is being very effective. I just would like to have a American friend to discuss about all those things I've been listening.

Thank you
I liked this video, I understanding 70% this video without subtitles ! Remember that I study 6 months 😅
To think in English means to me is that I have been becoming familiar with English- English dictionary in order to immerse myself into simple grammar structure and examples.
That helps me catch your great advice. Thank you so much.
Go Natural English was the first program that I took on the internet and it was the starting point to stop thinking in Spanish. The module of verbal phrases were very useful in this English journey. Also the weekly topics of comments help me in the development of communication.
Thanks for teaching us how how to speak fluently in english
Thank you teacher for your declsion to continue teach english. When you back teaching english, i felt so happy, because everybody know how much lovely and motivation you always bring in your classes. I would like to say for you when you feel sad or unhappy there are mullions of people that are in the other side of the screen wishing that you keep going with your plan.

Thank you gabby
Respectfully, I share a concern: One thing is to learn and understand spoken English, and another, completely different, is to comprehend written English. Reading English subtitles helps, but it comes after learning the sounds and associating them with their meanings. That's why you might spend months or even years reading English subtitles or written texts, and you might learn to read English but not to listen and understand what you hear, as evidenced by millions of people. One needs to naturally learn (similar to early childhood) the new sounds and their meanings, but within the auditory realm-using the direct pathway between the auditory cortex and Wernicke's area. This area associates the auditory or sound signal with the representation of sounds stored in memory. Once we manage to store these representations in memory, their meaning will be the same for any language. The key is to associate the new sound with that representation until becoming familiar and recognizing it automatically. So the proposal is NOT to read the English subtitle but to listen to the expression spoken in English by a native speaker, and immediately after, hear the meaning of that expression spoken orally in your own language, and then repeat that association many times. Repeat and repeat until the sound and meaning (the representation) become associated in your brain. It's like when you learn a synonym in your language: the sound code changes, but the meaning remains and applies to both the old sound and the new one. The neurological circuitry involved in reading, engaging the primary and secondary visual cortex to process the visual information of the words we see, is very different from that of listening and speaking, involving the Broca's and Wernicke's areas. This difference implies barriers, including incorrect or mispronounced subvocalization. Once you have the sound recorded in your brain, then learn to read English aided by subtitles or texts. “First the horse and then the saddle”.
Thanks a lot
Very good.
Uau. Eu sou brasileira e amei o vídeo. Vamos treinar o português? Amei o vídeo
Great ❤❤❤
Hi teacher you are the best
Hi mam i have learned many knowledge from you, i'm your big fan, keep it up this good job.
Gostei muito do seu video Gabby Wallace!!! I'm tryong to do meu best!! I will watch more videos in your Channel! Thank's! Obrigado! :)
Greetings from Brasilia - Brazil.
Go natural english. ❤❤😊😊
Nice i AM from México
Dear Gabby. I accept all your points, advices, encouraging ideas. Were I you, however, I would condense your monologue in 3-5 quite laconic points. "Multa sed multum", as ancient Romans said. Thank you anyway.
I'm Brasilian... I'm learning English. I like this channel. Unfortunately... I have nobody to conversation in english. Somebody?
I am Brazilian too.
I am here
I'm in the same situation.
1. Shadowing
even this YT 8 minutes 34 seconds will help you a lot.
if you can speak out every word and every sentence nearly 100% same as the teacher.
it will be a big big help.
2. speak out then your ear and brain will hear it back, so the effect is doubled and useful.
3. look at the mirror and converse with the one in the mirror.
try to make different replies as a role in the movie or some TV series.
Hey guys let's have a onversation in Enclish, we can do that as well if we want
I adore listening your voice and watching your videos without subtitles.
In spite of the advices i think that the most common problem for people no native is cominication, practice comunication. We dont find partners to practice all the day, this can means a huge difference in the process learning. I wish like find someone to practice it
Its true. What do you think about create a Group of conversation?
Yeah for sure, just share me the link
@@om4le do you have discord ID?

As a Brazilian, I love these examples in Portuguese. Hehehe...
This is the way i could be learning
Hi.. Thinking in English for me is doing something different than my usual, which already makes it a tedious task. On very rare occasions (when I am alone), it comes more naturally to me, but otherwise, most of the days, especially after a break for even 1 day, I have to give my brain constant pressure to think in English. I tend to forget words and phrases. Sometimes, it literally feels like I am trying translate and end up wearing out my brain.
Hello, I am from Perú, las clases que das en este canal son para las personas que tienen el idioma english advanced, no? te dejo un Like.

You are a very beautiful English speaker, girl!!!
My favourite TV show is friends ❤❤
Could you do video (with your recomendations)about TV Show?
Thank you so much_ Teacher "Gabby"_ Congratulations Healthy_ SAAD RAMADHAN MUHI _IRAQ
Uma dica pra quem quem se interessa pelo português(brasileiro), quando pronuciamos uma palavra com R no final geralmente nao pronuciamos o R, ex: dançar= dançá, falar=falá, comer=comê...
Thank you for your tips. Quer dançar? I’m Brazilian and liked your video very much.
iT´S TRUE!
I really like you idea of learning English through situations. What do you think of listen to the same expression in different situations to internalize it better?
My English has hope, and this year I think I will break it 📲
Tu parles anglais es très bien
Enchanté merci beaucoup
Je m'appelle Elias
Just a matter of time and practice. Personally, I lack the practice in speaking. Although I don’t need any help of my native language to understand speech and writings, I still might get stuck while speaking being not able to find relevant words/phrases immediately, and this cause me to automatically turn to the native language in attempts to find what to say.
This exactly happems to most of us 😢
All teachers tell me to think English, but sometimes I have not enough words, sometimes I think "it's not correct... how to say more correctly?" I use a translator, but it's takes time and I getting tired from this.
Hi teacher : i agree what you said ! A little child never look up to a dictionary. He or she learns what he hears he imitates that
Eu gosto de assistir a série " a medium de long island " sobre a vida da Tereza caputo
I am here from Brazil😊
Will you practice with me
Comparto, respetuosamente, una inquietud: Una cosa es aprender y entender el inglés hablado y otra, completamente diferente, es entender el inglés escrito. Leer subtítulos en inglés sirve, pero en fase posterior al aprendizaje de los sonidos y a su asociación sonora con los significados. Por eso, puedes pasarte meses o años, leyendo subtítulos en inglés o textos escritos en inglés, y tal vez aprendas a leer inglés, pero no a escucharlo y entender lo que escuchas, tal como lo evidencian millones de personas. Se necesita aprender naturalmente (como en la temprana infancia) los nuevos sonidos y su significado, pero dentro de lo sonoro, de lo auditivo, o sea, usar la vía directa entre corteza auditiva y área de Wernicke. Esta área asocia la señal auditiva o sonora con la representación de los sonidos guardada en la memoria. Cuando logremos guardar esas representaciones en la memoria, su significado será igual para cualquier idioma. El asunto es asociar el nuevo sonido a esa representación hasta familiarizarnos y reconocerlo automáticamente. Entonces la propuesta es, NO leer el subtítulo en inglés, sino oír la expresión en inglés hablado por un nativo, e inmediatamente después, escuchar el significado de esa expresión hablado oralmente en el propio idioma, y luego repetir esa asociación muchas veces. Repetir y repetir, hasta que sonido y significado (o sea la representación) se asocien en tu cerebro. Es como cuando aprendes un sinónimo en tu idioma: el código sonoro cambia, pero el significado permanece y sirve para el sonido viejo y para el nuevo. El circuito neurológico de la lectura, donde entran en juego la corteza visual primaria y secundaria para procesar la información visual de las palabras que vemos, es muy diferente al de la escucha y el habla, donde juegan las áreas de Broca y de Wernicke, y esa diferencia implica barreras, entre ellas, la subvocalización errónea o mal pronunciada. Cuando ya tengas el sonido grabado en tu cerebro, ahora sí aprende a leer el inglés ayudado con los subtítulos o textos. “Primero el caballo y después la silla”
Estoy de acuerdo contigo pero las escuelas se enfocan más en enseñar a leer y escribir y salimos muy buenos en ese rubro pero para conversas valemos barriga 😊
Muy cierto. Por fortuna hay algunos profes que han ido entendiendo poco a poco la realidad del problema y están haciendo valiosos aportes para enseñar a escuchar y entender el inglés normal, aunque unos de ellos todavía se apoyen un poco en los subtítulos, pero como una ayuda auxiliar y no como el recurso principal. Yo he estado estudiando con los videos de MartinBlacutt_English, y la verdad es que son excelentes. Vale la pena que los mires y luego comentamos. Saludos@@user-pt4xx4wu2i
But mom, not everyone talking like you, really clear and fluenty... sometimes when i hear someone talk or say not really clear pronounciations.
Maaf, Lagi nyoba ngomong bahasa Inggris tanpa TOEFL dan Vocabullary seperti yang disarankan di video ini 😂.
Apakah ini sudah lumayan mom?
I'll give you my experience: I listen and can understand a conversation in English but I can't have a conversation without getting stuck all the time.
I'll explain to you what happens: When I listen to a conversation in English, the sentences already come in the correct form, with the correct verb tenses,
and when I start to speak I stop trying to fit these verb tenses into my sentences.
Thinking in English involves mentally processing information, ideas, or concepts using the English language as the primary mode of thought. It's a practice that aids language acquisition and fluency by internalizing the language's structure, vocabulary, and expressions.

Start learning everything in English, words and it's synonyms and sentences
Consume more words and write ✍️ everything what you learn. Practice with a friend😮

I tried to practice listening to English with the X-Files series, but Mulder and Scully speak very fast, 😂😂😂 and also they use a very advance language for me
É errado fazer o que tô fazendo que é ouvir em inglês e prestar atenção na transcrição? Enquanto você fala eu tento ler o que você fala
