I think an other good advice, when you know enough of a language to do it, is to look at the definition in the language, and not at the translation in your native tongue, when you don't know a word. There are some English words I wouldn't even be able to translate in French, but I just know what they mean and how they are used, and it's really a better way to learn words that are a bit specific to the language.

Great video! I have difficults to think in English language, is so hard for me. However, with your tips I can practice and improve my ability. Excellent job. I'm gonna watch anothers videos.

Hey Mexico 🇲🇽

For me it's quite simple to think in a foreign language and it comes quite naturally. Maybe the reason is that we had to learn hundreds of phrases in English at school. For example we had to learn 50 different phrases how to say "Sorry, I didn't understand" or for "I don't know the answer" or for "Let me think" and so on. My challenge is rather to not mix up all the different languages. Sometimes I really speak German Franglish because I can't find the right word in the right language ... 😅

I will apply these tips to German. Right now I'm struggling to get from A1 to level A2. The problem is that I rely too much on English and tend to translate almost everything from German to English, which is my second language. I am trying to remember how I learned English from very basic to almost C1. It didn't happen over night. I kept learning step by step and one day I realised I was actually thinking in English. I don't recall the exact moment when I stopped translating into my head, but I got there. Hope some day I will be as fluent in German as I am in English.

The question is why do you think in English in the first place? Usually, I "translate from ideas to the target language", that is, I verbalize, rather than from one language to another. I try to only use a language other than the target one when it's hard for me to organize my thoughts, but not for a language-to-language translation. The aim is, in this case, to clarify, filter and set my thoughts in a linear way as it is in oral and written language, contrary to the massive and messy cluster of ideas. And that happens to me even in my mother tongue, when another language express the ideas better than my own.

Extremely grateful it was awesome video which cleared my doubts regarding how to think in English.
