My summary of Hadar's recommendations. Hope that I have understood them correctly. I really enjoy and appreciate the ideas that Hadar presents in her videos. 1) Journaling in English allows us to express and transpose our thoughts into written words, on paper or by keyboard with a word processor. Select a tiime of about 30 minutes each day, during which you are most likely to be relaxed and with minimal chance of distraction. Write events of the day in English for about 20 minutes. Avoid self-correction during this time. Then use the remaining 10 minutes to spell check with a dictionary and, or the "Spelling and Grammar" check function under "Tools" in the word processor. 2) Deliberately think in English. Use "empty moments" as available. Rather than constantly checking and attempting to correct - allow the thoughts to flow. 3) "Stream of consciousness" thinking and speaking. Don't be concerned about self correcting - allow the ideas and thoughts about your environment to flow. If you are on your own, speak the thoughts and ideas out loud.
Hi Hadar. Thanks for sharing these strategies, great episode! I’d like to add a couple of tricks that were so beneficial to me, let me know what you think about them. The first one is to create a habit. As an example, you mentioned the exercise in the car, I would say: every time you are in the car, you speak and think in English. Or in the bathroom. At the beginning you forget about the rule, you have to force yourself … but after a while, it is really automatic. Second trick: be surrounded by English conversations, even when we are not really ‘active listeners’. Radio, in English. Podcasts, in English. Movies, in English. My brain reacts in English in this way. When I listen to a podcast (in English) … and I also look around me… my brain thinks in English, in an automatic way. What about you? Does it work also to you?
Really appreciated the practical strategies outlined in this video. It's a valuable approach for anyone looking to enhance their fluency and thought process in English. Looking forward to more insightful content like this! 💡
Hi Hadar ! You're the Best ! I think in my target language (english or italian), never in french. So I never translate. But when the words don't flow in my mind, there's no thought, only a blank...😮 I am astonished. I practice listening and reading every single day. Thank you for your tips. 😊
Deliberate thinking in English makes sense 💯 At the beginning it might be hard and even exhausting. But the more often you do that the quicker you feel results! My own hint is imagination English conversation with a particular person
The question is how can we be commited to do it EVERYDAY :) Your advices motivate me for a few days and then im lost in daily urgencies. How to stick in theses routines !!
Thanks for the tips that can help me To become fluent in english because very often,I think in my mother tongue before speaking.Now,I am going To put out of mind this bad strategy by embraceing your advice that you shared with us lt is to say to think in directly in English before speaking
Im also an israeli..and like hadar im not an english native speaker...but ive learnt english since i was 3 years old...my parents sent me to a private english course...i thank them today for what they did...my advise is to watch alot of english movies without subtitles at all, and just to converse with foreign people online that are ameicans or from other countries that speak english...i think hadar is great and i just think she just have a gift for languages thats all and alot of hard work and determination...everyone can speak the language with hard work only...dont be tempted for shortcuts

Hi Hadar! Nice to see you. I´m happy to be on the English journey applying new strategies and being confident in myself by having different tricks that I usually do every day.
I always talk to myself in English when I drive, sometimes I think I'm crazy 😵💫😆 The title of that book was the inspiration for your channel, wasn't it? 🙂
Thank you! I am motivated in this New year starting...hope it last. I watch a video and write, like I was taking notes...that is a good one I think. THANKS ❤🎉

Anyway, thank you for always sharing valuable tips and tricks on how to improve our English, Hadar 🙏 They do help light a fire under us in our English journey 🔥you're such an inspiration particularly for non-native English speakers !

Amazing video and thanks you so much for your tips…but please you should speak one point less speed,and again thanks for your job,I wish the best for this 2024😊
The first strategy I have been starting to do since yesterday but I don't know whether I make a mistake in vocabulary or grammar. How can I know about it and correct it by myself?
That's all very well. But I've always believed that, even when you think you are thinking in English or any other language, In fact, at first you're making those thoughts, phrases, and sentences in your own language, say in one tenth of a second, and then the process of translation or giving the relevant equivalent will be done in our brain. I can't think of any other way that, when you want to say something in any second language, you do it without having that sentence pass through your brain first in your mother tongue. I believe that, neuroscience-wise, it's almost unlikely that one's brain language processing is the other way around, as I described.
so I think the biggest problem for us is how to think in english all the time I mean we need to describe what's around us and of course it's so difficult because we need to know how to do it then we're gonna see ours phones because we are all need to know how is the anwers after thinking in english
Hi there. That isn't possible. Everyone is thinking in their own native language in order that they'll be able to understand what the words mean. Thanks
The problem is not Israel or Palestine. The real problem is religion. Sick of imaginary bearded men making stupid laws invented by other men, just to create hate in the name of something that doesn't exist.
