Hi, everyone! It’s Caitlin!<\/p>\n

Last week, I shared a few ideas on…<\/p>\n

How to Think in English!<\/strong><\/div>\n

Today, I have a few more tips to help you stop translating what you want to say, and actually just say it!<\/p>\n

Tip Four: Listen to as much content as you can, and READ OUT LOUD<\/h2>\n

Music\u00a0\u266c is very important to me. I love listening to my iPod or going to concerts and festivals, and in university I used to go to karaoke once a week! It’s a great way to both learn vocabulary and practice speaking (singing). Other people enjoy movies, TV dramas, news programs, and radio shows. All of these teach us natural, fluent English. Find the media that\u2019s best for you, and start listening to how native or experienced speakers communicate.<\/p>\n

Another thing to do is practice reading out loud. When you study, silent reading is important because you can focus on the meaning. But if you want to be able to use the new vocabulary or grammar, you should read out loud (and repeat!). By doing that, you train your brain and muscles to produce natural language without having to make the sentences yourself.<\/p>\n

Tip Five: Use an English – English dictionary<\/h2>\n

These days, I never leave the house without my smartphone. It has so many uses \u2014 but one of my favorite apps is the dictionary. No matter where I am, if I hear I new Japanese word, I can check the meaning in English immediately. How about you? Do you use a dictionary at home, work, or school?<\/p>\n

If you want to break your translating habit, it\u2019s time to stop using your dictionary! Or rather, you should stop using a Japanese-English dictionary. Get (or install on your phone) an English-English dictionary so you can start thinking about new words in English as soon as you learn them. It will also help increase your vocabulary.<\/p>\n

One of my favorites is Merriam-Webster\u2019s Learner\u2019s Dictionary Online<\/a> because it’s so easy to understand. For example\u2026<\/p>\n

Tip Six: Use English synonyms or draw pictures in your notes instead of writing the Japanese definition<\/h2>\n

Since our goal is to think in English, we should stop translating new words in our notes, too! Instead, use synonyms or pictures to help you remember a new idea. If this is your first time to hear the phrase, \u201cIt\u2019s a hassle!\u201d, instead of writing \u3081\u3093\u3069\u304f\u3055\u3044 in Japanese, you should write, \u201ctrouble, difficult, too much time, etc.\u201d in English. Or draw a picture of yourself washing the dishes.<\/p>\n

Tip Seven: Concentrate!<\/h2>\n

Learning how to think in another language is hard! It doesn\u2019t happen in one day, one week, or even a month. When speaking with others in English, you need to focus on using only English in your head, and remind yourself again and again not to think in Japanese, French, Russian, etc. That\u2019s OK! You can do it!<\/p>\n
