Want to stop thinking in native language while speaking in English #1 (permalink) Fri Nov 27, 2009 1:59 am   Want to stop thinking in native language while speaking in English
 

I am not very familier with this site so i dont know where this question should be put.I want to ask that how can you stop thinking in your native langauge. I mean to say that i am from india and my native is hindi so whenever i speak english itself hindi comes in my mind and than i translate my native language into english. But i got confused in making english those line in hindi and sometimes instead of saying he i say she..some time i say she instead of he ,,,all i want to say that i got confused because mind works double when i speak in english . so please can you make me understand that how can i stop in hindi while speaking in english.

and one thing more please correct me wher eever i am wrong . I would appreciate.

Hi Kardeep,

What you are experiencing is what everyone finds when they are learning another language. You could practise speaking English by telling us something about what you do and where you live on the forum in the section headed: Speaking English for 20 seconds a day?

Hi Kardeep,

In addition to Alan's answer which I fully support I suggest you read this: http://www.english-test.net/esl/lesson-plans/Stop_translating.html

Also, please note the correct spelling of the word 'English'.
