HOW TO THINK IN 
ENGLISH  



HOW TO THINK IN ENGLISH  
maybe you know last year i was living in 
brazil and i was practicing my portuguese 
every single day because everything and 
everyone around me spoke portuguese it 
was super easy but now i've moved back to 
the united states wherei'm living and i live 
in a smaller city now where i don't know 
any brazilians or portuguese speakers so i 
have to get a little creative about how i 
practice my portuguese to maintain it to not 
lose it and even to improve it so just the 
other day i grabbed my iphone and i opened 
up siri and i put the language in portuguese 
i thought it would be really interesting to see
if i can understand siri in portuguese and
more so interesting if she can understand


me in portuguese and so i tried it and i 
found that about nine out of ten times she 
could understand me and i felt really 
confident because my portuguese was 
working and it was understood by a non-
human kind of robot by artificial intelligence 
so i think that that's a good indicator that 
my portuguese is still pretty good and i 
could understand most of what she said to 
me now we can use apps like this that
weren't intended for language learning 
likesiri on the iphone or google assistant on 
android we can also use apps that are 
intended for language learning like duolingo
andi'm going to tell you more about how i 
recommend using duolingo for your 
language learning at the end of this video so 
stick around for those tips but i want to 


encourage us to think outside the box and 
use tech apps things that we use maybe for 
other aspects in our life not for language 
learning but we can adapt them to help us 
with our language learning so i want to 
share some other apps that i think you can 
use to improve your english that we're not 
necessarily intended to be english learning
apps and i want to ask you to share in the 
comments if you have suggestions if you 
have other apps that you use that are not 
necessarily language learning apps but that 
you use to help you with your english if you 
enjoy this kind of video please be sure to 
smash the like button and subscribe here to 
go natural english it helps us when you 
subscribe to grow our community and to 
keep making videos so help us to keep going 


by subscribing it means a lot to me most of 
us learn a language at least at first in a 
classroom and it's in the confines of these 
four walls that we usually learn from a 
teacher face to face paper and textbooks the 
teacher tells us to translate what is cat in 
spanish it'selgato what is dog inspanish it's 
el perro and vice versa we learn to translate
in order to speak english and this pattern
happens throughout our lives slowing us
down and making our english skills actually 
worse actually slower if we're always taking 
the step of translating in our heads well it 
takes us longer if we're always thinking 
what is this english word in my native 
language first let me translate it then that is 
slowing us down what we're going to do is 
to use apps to learn to think in english it's 


not just about learning english it's actually 
making english part of our lifestyle for 
example a big tool that i use every day
isgoogle calendar i would forget everything i 
had to do if i didn't put it in my calendar
right now my calendar is all in english but if i 
wanted to work on my portuguese i should 
set my google calendar inportuguese and it 
might seem like a basic thing just having the 
days of the week in the language i'm 
learning but you could actually input all of 
the things that you need to do in english
and this is a way for you to practice this is a 
way for you to be reminded in english and 
it's so important to use english and
repeatedly use it repeatedly see it day in
and day out and get a lot of english input
sogoogle calendar is one tool that i 


recommend that you start using inenglish a 
couple times a week i use google keep on 
my iphone to make a grocery list or a list of 
things that i need to go out and buy and this 
is another simple way that you can make a 
list of what you need to buy inenglish so if 
i'm learning portuguese i should write down
milk lazy eggs ovo's and butter montega to 
practice the language these are not new 
words for me but the important thing is that 
i'm living in the language and i can use this 
app right on my phone conveniently to do 
so if you're like me you use social media 
every day too right now all of my social 
media is in english is yours you can set your 
preferred language to english and then you 
can use more english not only by seeing your 
settings in english but you could join groups 


that use english as their language of 
communication so search for your interests 
on facebook or using hashtags on instagram
orhashtags on youtube search for these 
inenglish and you're going to find content 
creators and other people to network with 
and make friends with online all inenglish 
you ask me a lot of the time for english 
speaking partners well this is a great way to 
find someone find a new friend online by 
connecting through your shared interests 
you can do this all through social media but 
be patient you don't want to rush things and 
just reach out immediately asking people 
will you be my speaking partner don't do 
that just connect with people over a topic 
that you're interested in maybe it's cars 
maybe it's movies maybe it's advice about 


different topics in your life but find these 
groups find these hashtags and find people 
who are talking about the same things that 
you're interested in inenglish and you will 
naturally connect with people that way i 
also use voice record an app where i can 
record my voice and this is a great way to 
practice your speaking skills i'll record 
myself speaking a little bit in portuguese 
you can record yourself speaking in english 
and then if you listen to yourself you will be 
able to notice when you make a mistake or 
maybe when your accent is a little strong or 
when it's difficult to understand yourself in 
english also you could use this voice 
recording and you could share it with 
someone who could give you feedback 
that's something that we do inside the 


complete go natural english course is we 
listen to your voice recording and give you 
feedback but you can use a simple app like
voice record and listen to yourself to identify
how you can improve use a podcast listening
app like itunes or stitcher to listen to 
content in english listen to podcasts in 
english about any topic you're interested in 
it could be an english learning podcast like 
the go naturalenglish podcast or
theduolingo podcast in spanish for english 
learners who speak spanish or it could be a 
podcast inenglish about a topic that you are 
passionate about maybe you're passionate 
about entrepreneurship or maybe you're 
passionate about sports whatever you are 
interested in there is a podcast for you so 
use these keywords in english to search for 


a podcast that you can try listening to today
and try them out i'm sure you'll find that 
some podcasts are more to your liking than
others but you'll find one where you can get 
that input that listening input that you need 
in order to improve your listening skills and 
then there's the duolingo app where you 
don't really have to search or plan what 
you're learning or put too much effort into 
the planning because they give you the 
lessons you need to improve your 
vocabulary to improve your listening skills
and your grammar and really all the skills 
that you need to improve in the language 
you're learning duolingo offers english 
lessons and lessons in 37 different languages 
so if you're a language learning nerd like me 
then you will love the duolingo app i've 


downloaded it on my iphone and i use it to 
improve my spanish portuguesejapanese
french and other languages that i'm curious 
about it's just so much fun to try different 
languages andduolingo makes it like a game 
you have short little exercises where you 
listen to words and then you choose what 
you hear so you're improving your listening 
comprehension there's flashcards where 
you can choose which word you're seeing 
and you're improving your vocabulary and
as you create your own sentences using the 
words they give you you're improving your 
structure and grammar so i love the app 
because it's fun it's really cute and what i 
like is that sometimes i get busy doing some 
other things and i forget to study the 
languages that i want to improve but you 


can turn on notifications and duolingo will 
invite you to come back to the app and to 
keep studying i actually love when they give 
me a quick quiz because it's fun it's low 
pressure it's not like i'm getting a grade or
passing or failing an important test it's just a 
quick quiz to check my understanding and 
see how i'm doing it's really really fun you 
can also follow your friends and you can 
earn badges for doing your language 
practice so i would recommend that you try 
the duolingo app also because it's free so 
there's nothing to lose you might as well try 
it out and see how you like it if you click 
down to open the description i'll put a link
