How to Train Your Brain to Think in English (Stop Translating) | English Conversation Podcast
What is your biggest problem when speaking English?
Stop translating in your head! If you feel stuck every time you try to speak, this English Conversation Podcast episode will show you exactly how to retrain your brain for English fluency.
In this 30-minute lesson, Sarah and Mike share science-based strategies to build new neural pathways so you can think and speak English naturally. Whether you are at a B1, B2, or C1 level, these techniques will help you move from understanding to active speaking.
I'm sorry, but this is unbearable to listen to. "Exactly"
In this episode, you will learn:
● Neural Pathways: How to stop the "4-step translation" habit and build direct English routes in your brain.
I always forget how to say some words in English. So, that make me insecure with my English.
● Mental Substitution: A simple trick to activate the "books on your shelf" (your passive vocabulary).
● The 70% Rule: Why choosing the right comprehensible input is the secret to fast progress.
Thanks guys
● Solo Speaking Techniques: How to use Shadowing and Self-Talk Narrative to practice speaking even when you're alone.
● Mental Blocks: How to use "filler phrases" to buy time and stay calm under pressure.
I'm understand the English when I'm seeing the sentence. But I'm not understand when I'm listening. My brain try to organise sentence and then try to translat. What i do?
This is a deep dive into the psychology of language learning. No boring grammar rules—just practical, real-life methods to improve your English speaking skills.
🎧 Perfect for:
AI is insanely good, omg

@felicidadhernandez4739I'm from Myanmar. I'm really need firends
@HeinMinHtet-x2mI'll give you an advise: speak what's in your mind and don't care about making mistakes, your audience English comprehension is high enough to understand what you mean without thinking about your mistakes and your vocabulary, the most obvious argument is that you are reading my comment and understanding the idea even I'm using very weak English expressions.
So keep in mind: people want to understand you, not to judge your English level
I really love to speak in english.but when I going to talk the words I don't know what to use.
@GaminiGamini-d2uMy biggest problem when speaking english is - I have thoughts in my mind, but I can't speak quick in conversations, but in writing I'm ok because I don't have that much of urgency push.Yes from this podcast I'm realized that when I'm speaking my brain tries to translate every word which taking delay.
@ReshmaKakimanuI think I’m strict with my English. I had made a goal to speak fluently as a native person because it’s cool.
But, hearing this podcast, I realized that expressing what I want to tell simply is also impotent. I’m try self -compassionate. I want to be kind to my self and enjoy process. Some times I feel sad because I don’t see my progress, but I trust believing the process will make me feel confident.
Hi thank for you video this is really helpful. My biggest struggle is when reading, when I'm cocentrating with the correct pronunciation, I am not able to understand the meaning, so I need to read it again regarless of pronunciation. Is that okay?
@JeniferMendez-j3vI will share this with my students, it's practical and very informative. 💯
@vanessastephens5584Honestly my biggest problem is overthinking. I know the words, but when it’s time to speak my brain suddenly freezes
@EnglishforOverthinkersOnly understand ... Exactly 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@jacobovillalobos16329:56 - use your emotional language WHEN SPEAK ENGLISH.
