So for the last few days, I've been thinking about one question that a viewer asked last week, and it's the question, how do I stop translating in my head?
Sometimes when you're learning a language like English, when you hear something or read something, the first thing you do is you try to translate it in your head word for word so that you can understand what you've read or what you've heard.
And this just isn't efficient.
It takes so much time to translate, and if you're having a conversation, it can be kind of awkward because after someone says something to you in English, you pause for a bit while you translate in your head.
So in this English lesson, I'm going to look at a few different ideas and techniques.
I'm going to look at a few things that you can do to stop translating in your head when you hear English or when you read it.
One thing that I would recommend is that you do something called overloading.
Overloading is when you do more than one thing at the same time, and when you're learning a language, it can be good to read while you're listening.
So if you can find a book to read and if you can find the audiobook, you can read the book while you're listening to it.
What this does is it makes your brain very, very busy and you don't have time to stop and translate.
