Greetings to everyone and well that you returned to “English with Lucy”
Maybe I look a little different today
and that’s because I think I’m living in the warmest apartment
in England,
or at least in Cambridge.
O Lord.
Okay, it’s about 27, 28 degrees out
which in England is very, very hot
but within my opening, it’s like a real tropic.
It’s wet, stinky, a pretty good word,
muddy (muggy) we say when it’s somehow a bit dense, warm, humid air
and I have a whole wall with windows,
which is a good thing,
because it allows the light rays to enter
but also contributes a greenhouse effect to my apartment
so I’m absolutely boiling.
So I did not get myself to fix hair
because simply,
I would gather them and they would come again
and there is no necklace today.
Instead, I have my blouse “Coca Cola” today
which is not sponsored,
I would like to be sponsored,
imagine having a sponsor like “wonderful Coca Cola”.
So today, it’s a very, very, very important video.
Today, I’ll give you some tips
how to stop translating in your native language
because many people have this problem.
I asked many English students
and students of other languages
and they say
“I would be able to speak more fluently
if I could stop the translator. “
Now, most of you probably know this.
If you’re new to this channel,
I speak fluent Spanish
and I’m actively teaching Italian
and I remember at first
of my learning path of Spanish
it seemed to me very hard not to translate.
And the English-Spanish translation
it can be really difficult and annoying
because the order of words is very different.
Now I’m actively teaching Italian
and I am managing to do it somehow
without translating it into Spanish or English.
So speaking of my experience as a learner who is learning a language
and speaking of my experience
as an English language teacher
I’ll give you some tips
and I hope to help you overcome this great hurdle
which is preventing you from getting rid of it.
Initially, before the TV starts,
I would like to thank the video sponsor of today,
“Lingoda.”
This is a company that has been working for a while.
I really believe in what they offer
They are a language academy on the Internet.
They teach you English, French, Spanish and German
and you sign up on a monthly basis
and get a combination of group and private lessons
which are taught through a video chat.
They have really good material
who teach them and send them to you
through qualified local teachers
and if you look at the prices,
are really very reasonable.
It is often much more affordable to study with “Lingoda”
rather than going to a school as a person.
They have given me a discount for you.
You can get 50 euros or dollars
from your first subscription to “Lingoda”
by clicking on the link in the description box
and using ENGLUCY6, ENGLUCY6.
All the information is below.
All right, okay, let’s start with the video.
Oh, God, it’s very hot.
I bet for all of you in your country,
Really, let’s do something for excitement.
Show me where you live
and what temperature is where you are for now
because I bet that some of you are in a heat of 40 degrees.
Edi my friends in Seville are really suffering
with heat
and I’m here with 27 degrees of dying.
I’m very sensitive.
OK, I’ve been thinking about this question
for a long time
and I wrote a few notes on my phone
just because I want to find the right way for you.
So stay with me.
So how to avoid native language translation.
Well, the first advice I can give you
and this will not be implemented by everyone,
is “do not start in the first place”.
If you are at an initial level of English,
some translations are inevitable,
You need to do this
The way we teach at school is amarillo (Spanish), yellow,
naranja, orange.
We learn by translating.
Anyway, think about being a baby.
How did you learn your first language,
mother tongue?
You were taught by observing, seeing, seeing, listening,
smells, tastes, and sightings.
You did not learn through the translate
because you did not have anything to base your translation on
because you did not have a parent.
So babies are capable of learning a language
without any other language to refer,
and we still find it extremely difficult.
So all you need is simplification.
Bebat starts small
and then over the years,
they build their vocabulary.
And you have to apply this for yourself too.
It is much more important to learn the vocabulary
through observation and taking things as they are
than simply seeing something in the dictionary.
And that leads me to the next point.
Oh, my God, I’m very hot.
And that leads me to the next point
which is “take your bilingual vocabulary
and throw it out of the window. “
Do not do it, okay,
may fall on one’s head.
Just put somewhere very cautious
and then take your monopoly vocabulary,
Is this the right word (monolingual)?
And then get the vocabulary
in the language he is teaching,
in many of your cases, it will be English
and then start to let the language explain itself.
So with words like names and verbs
it can be a bit difficult to understand
but that’s where you need to learn by observing.
When you look at any adjective, adverb
or something like that,
try to understand the meaning in the same language as a beginning
because what you need to do
is to train yourself to think in that language
which you are learning
which brings me to the third point.
Oh my God, how beautiful
this video is well planned.
So the next two points
are about thinking and talking to yourself
in that language.
Now, I counseled you to get started
from speaking loudly to yourself in another language.
I seem to have mentioned this in a video about conversations,
improving conversation and communication.
If you are interested in this
then you can see that video up here.
Anyway, talk to yourself in that other language
is really a key factor
in learning to think in a language.
So for example with the Spanish, I’m going to drive
and describe the movements
that I will be doing by car.
I’ll be (speaking Spanish)
Anyhow, that’s what I do
or I will be heading around the kitchen
cooking and talking to yourself
about what I’m doing.
And you will start to see your mistakes,
especially when listening to yourself talking utterly.
As soon as you are comfortable talking aloud
with yourself in privacy in that other language,
“move” to start thinking.
I think that speech should come to thinking
but that’s just my opinion.
Everyone learns in different ways.
I personally think it’s easier to identify mistakes
and feel better when you speak loudly.
Speaking loudly,
you have to do it when you are alone
but thinking
I want you to do it everywhere,
on the bus, seeing what’s passing.
This may be related to the video I made
how to learn and remember vocabulary
which you can see here above.
It is a useful method
when you observe everything about you
and consider whether you know this in the chosen language.
Full explanation is on the video
and many of them have seemed helpful.
Edi also seemed helpful to me.
See if you can keep a monolingual dictionary
in that video.
It seems to me that I suggested using a bilingual dictionary.
See if you can do it with an English vocabulary.
So by thinking in English
and I am talking about describing people,
if you look at someone walking,
think with you, “the man is walking,”
“he is walking on the road”
or just walking over your actions.
I’m getting out of the bus.
I’m going to the showrooms.
In your mind,
you are simply incorporating yourself into that language.
Ah, this beautiful word, immerse (include
including yourself,
brings me to point number five
which is “immersion”
And this is one of my favorite words.
Edi I have many favorite words
but “immersion”, it is pleasant,
is a nice word.
So “comprehensiveness” is something you should do
along with your learning experience.
And that’s something you can do while doing something else
which is among my favorite things.
So when I’m doing something
which does not require 100% concentration
like cooked or cleansed,
I always have something in the background.
By cleaning, cooking, washing the car, taking care of the garden, whatever it may be,
any task that allows you to do anything
at the same time you do another thing,
there is something in the “background” in that language.
Edi that I’m saying it was a revolt
but really do not forget to do this.
Edi can waste a lot of time
and miss many lessons.
Having it always in the background
and even not to hear,
you will be using the pronunciation and emphasis.
And listening to and focusing on what they are saying,
you will familiarize yourself
with some grammar,
different vocabulary,
but you can also see where you are lacking.
So if you listen to a radio program
always say pictures,
what can I say?
So if you’re listening to a radio program about politics,
for example.
My last point is doing this every day.
I always tell the students
that 20 minutes a day of high quality,
nor lesson,
simply language acquisition,
language acquisition,
sometimes I surprise myself
with words coming out of my mouth,
20 minutes a day of qualified English time
here we are,
This is more like something that Lucy would say,
is much, much, much more valuable
than 140 minutes total in a day.
So make general involvement
and thinking and speaking to yourself
is something he does during the day.
Make part of your routine.
Make it automatic to you.
I sometimes think of a whole hour in,
thinking loudly in my mind in spanish
and then I understand and say,
“O Lord, I speak Spanish all the time”
And that is because I practice it all the time and it starts automatically.
And then small details
and that little self-help
that you do last
which is the search for definition of words,
working on the grammar that you have discovered
that is stuck in it
or attempts to expand your vocabulary,
which should be brief but daily.
Okay well, friends, as always,
I want to know your thoughts.
You friends are a group of very clever minds
and I adore listening to recommendations
and I apply them to my daily life as well.
So I would like to know something that will help you
stop translating in your native language.
I’m sure you have a lot to share.
In a different video where I asked
how much language do you speak,
some of you talk about seven languages
which is unbelievable,
truly wonderful, truly magnificent,
I am honored to be a group of students as you friends.
So please forward your recommendations
and your experiences in the comments below
and the criticisms are also welcomed.
So if you do not agree with something I say,
Say, just say it in a good way
because I wanted everyone to be respected here.
But I’m not the “goddess” of English.
What does not go.
But I really hope to help you.
This is all about today’s video.
