I don't get tire to say "Thank you so much Rachel" You are helping me very much with all your videos. I am 79 years old and still want to improve my English.
I'm south indian. Thank you for teaching from the scrap. I can also learn from you how to pronounce. I learnt new vocabularies today. I'm glad to be your student.
❤Hey Rach, you've been really helpful 😊 to me. When I got comfortable with spoken English, there was something else I wanted to improve, and that was none other than my accent. I was quite confused 🤔 and didn't know what to do. Then I found one of your videos that literally helped me out.I just wanna express my gratitude to you for being so valuable.❤
I'm enjoying this very much. This is very helpful in getting a word meaning easily and also correct way and easy to remember the word, Thank you 🤗 so much my teacher.
I agree with this method, it really works for words which you can imagine or touch, but sometimes I have problems with abstract words like "view" "fairness" "downplay" "excitement" "rebuff" they contain more then one concept. In my opinion it can be corrected by daily practice with these words and trying to explain them in English. This case can be a really demotivating factor to speak more correct and presentative when you can think more adult and complex, and your mind says "haha you have only a child vocabulary say goo-goo da-da" 😁 Thanks that you are helping us to think in English, Rachel 😄🥰
I literally found your channel by accident looking up a few definitions, I hope to remember the lost uses that I brake for granted ! Thanks 🙏 for the great content I subscribed who knows maybe I can help my grandsons with homework 😅
Thanks so much to create this video to us. It helps me a lot, and I also want to know if there have any further way to let us think like native speaker or speak like them.

Eu amo a língua Inglesa tal qual amo a língua Portuguesa, que é a língua do País em que nascí: o Brasil. No dia em que eu aprender a fonética da Língua Inglesa, libertar-me-ei para o mundo. Vivam as línguas Inglesa e Portuguesa! Eu as amo tanto. Bom dia!
You're welcome Sidra! These words will not sound the same. The vowel for FAT will be the AA as in BAT, and the vowel for FOUGHT will be the AW as in law or AH as in father.

Hi Daramane! The Academy only helps in improving pronunciation - If that’s what you are looking for then I would recommend focusing in on one topic at a time and giving that topic 2 weeks of focused practice before moving on. You can choose a playlist from my RU-vid channel to help you select topics to focus on: ru-vid.complaylists
What language is a toddler thinking in, when she receives a message from her Japanese mother and simultaneously gives it to her American father? Do you really beleive a person thinks in a language? So how come we forget a word or two in our own native language when everybody is speaking it? Don't you think thoughts are just ideas we put in any language we are used to speaking? What about a toddler who can't speak yet but who can understand their parents quite well? And the deaf mute ones? What language do they think in, before they learn how to use sign language?
Unfortulately, it doesn't work neurologically the idea of "not translating". First it is crucial to translate into your native language up to the brain is able to recogniza it as the same semamtic for different sound. Translate as much as you can is a more validated advice for those beginners in any language.
I have an Academy you might be interested at. It is focused on all aspects of American English pronunciation: specific sounds, vocal placement, rhythm/stress, intonation, and smooth, connected quality/flow. We have a great online Academy community where you can post videos of your practice and receive personalized video feedback from Rachel's English teachers, as well as support from other students. If you have other questions about the Academy - feel free to reach out to help@rachelsenglish.com Here's a link to learn more: www.rachelsenglishacademy.com/

Is What you say for native english speakers? Do the native english speakers think before speaking ? For me it is not serious. It is sad😢😢. I ask me if what you share is useful. How did you know the need to think in english ? Is it a need of human being? What are the Areas you attempt to target?
"Think in English" practice is most helpful for people who find themselves translating in their heads from another language to English. This habit is very common for ESL learners, and it can be frustrating when it slows down the pace of English conversation. Practicing thinking in English can be a good way to build confidence, quicker vocabulary recall, and more natural-feeling conversation.
It is not possible to think in the target language, at least not for beginners. Beginners need to think first in their native language and then translate word for word into the target language. That is because beginners have no other choice. Beginners will first learn individual, isolated words. Eventually they will learn sentences and expressions, but that happens much later. So beginners have no other choice other than direct or literal translation. To ask beginners to think directly in the target language is unreasonable.
