30 English Conversational Phrases You MUST Know About Emotions

🎧 How to Think in English Naturally (Step-by-Step Method)

In this episode, you’re going to learn how to think in English naturally — without translating from your native language and without worrying about grammar rules. You’ll learn the exact method I use to think in other languages too. When you reach this stage, English starts to flow. Sentences come out automatically, your speech becomes smoother, and conversations feel effortless. Most learners never reach this point — but you can if you follow this simple process.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode
✅ What it really means to think in English
✅ Why grammar and vocabulary must be internalized — not memorized
✅ The method I use to make English automatic
✅ How to build this into your daily routine

📺 Watch the technical tutorial on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pysIoC1bb3I

The Method (Step-by-Step) 

1: Create or Find Sentences
Start with sentences that are personal to you — things you actually want to say in English. These should reflect your life, your hobbies, your work, and topics you care about.
Use tools like ChatGPT or work with a teacher to create natural, real-world examples.

:. Add Audio
Listen to how these sentences sound naturally. You can use AI text-to-speech or native recordings. Hearing real pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation is essential for internalizing how English feels.

3: Use Spaced Repetition
Import your sentences (with audio) into an app like Anki or Memrise.
Listen, read, and repeat each sentence aloud — matching the sound as closely as possible.
The system will show you sentences right before you forget them, which is the most efficient way to review.

4: Make It a Daily Habit
Do this every day — even if only for five minutes.
On days when you’re busy or tired, just review a few sentences. The goal is consistency.
Over time, English grammar and phrases will become automatic — you’ll start thinking in English instead of translating.

5: Keep Adding Sentences
As your life changes, add new sentences that match your experiences, goals, and topics you want to talk about.
Each new sentence strengthens your fluency and builds flexibility when speaking.

🧩 Why This Works Because you’re not just learning words — you’re training your brain to recognize and reproduce patterns.
You’re absorbing English through repetition, sound, and context — the same way native speakers learn.

If you found this lesson helpful, share it with a friend who’s learning English — and remember: English fluency comes from consistent, focused practice.

Improving your listening skills is vital if you want to be competent in the English language. In this lesson, you're going to learn how to improve this area in the most efficient and rapid way possible so that you can understand native speakers and fast English.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LISTENING SKILLS:

Native speakers don't understand everything they hear. It's true. I sometimes find it difficult to understand:
 • when on the phone
 • when talking to people with accents I'm not used to
 • when watching movies
 • and when listening to music
This is going to happen to you. You'll never reach a stage where you understand everything. But it's important to improve so that you can understand more.

Here is how:
 1. Improve your vocabulary and grammar: the more you know, the more you'll understand. Search for "input To Fluency" to learn how to do this.
 2. Listen as much as possible: get used to the way people speak. You can listen while doing other things.
 3. What you listen to is important: find audio that is enjoyable, specific to you, and comprehensible. I recommend audiobooks that have been adapted for English learners (graded readers)
 4. Work on your pronunciation: if you can make the sounds in English, you'll better understand them when you hear them.
 5. Have natural conversations: this is the best type of listening practice but it's more expensive and harder to find.
I encourage you to try these methods. Start today. Commit to doing more in English. Enjoy the journey. Hope you enjoyed this! Please subscribe if you're new!
