5 分钟Hello and welcome back to Everyday English Lab.
I'm Sarah, and as always, I'm here with my co-host, Mark.
Hey, everyone.
We're so glad you're here.
If you've ever wondered, why do I still think in my native language when I'm trying to speak English?
Then this episode is just for you.
Exactly.
Today, we're going to talk about how to train your brain to think in English.
We'll walk you through practical, daily techniques
that will help you build the habit of thinking, not translating, in English.
And don't worry, it's not as hard as it sounds.
You don't need to be fluent to start thinking in English.
You just need consistency, the right mindset, and a little bit of patience.
So, let's get started.
Did you know that the average person has around 6,200 thoughts per day?
But here's what's fascinating.
When learning a new language, we process those thoughts up to 40% slower
because we're constantly translating in our heads.
That's such an interesting statistic,
and it really explains why so many language learners feel mentally exhausted at the end of the day.
