    Improve your fluency in

    ENGLISH
    TAKE UP THE CHALLENGE
    MRS. ADRIANA NAVARRETE
    TRAIN YOUR BRAIN

     Stop translating things from Spanish into English.


    First step: think about isolated words to
    name objects around you in English

     Right now, think about three items near you


     Is there anything you don´t know how to say? Write it
    down and learn it.
     Do this daily. You could even tag some objects at home.
    Pronunciation

    If you are not sure about pronunciation…

     use an online dictionary


     use Youglish
    Type Youglish in your search engine
    Take some time in Word naming
     Whenever you are in a new
    environment, name the objects
    around you.
     At home, name objects in the
    different rooms
     Outside,notice things when
    you travel by car or go for a
    walk. If you are curious, you
    will learn a lot!
    Second step: think about a complete
    sentence
     If you don´t know how to say something,use a learner´s
    dictionary instead of a translator.
     Merriam Webster
     Oxford
     Cambridge
     In this way, you express the terms and paraphrase
    instead of just translating from Spanish into English
    Learn to use a learner`s dictionary instead
    of using an online translator
     AVOID USING A TRANSLATOR BECAUSE….
    There are numerous problems with online translators, but the
    most important is quite simply that they cannot understand
    context, so for any word that has more that one possible
    translation - which is the majority of words - the translator
    cannot know which meaning is required.
    Take some time thinking about
    whole sentences

     You need to be determined


    and remember to do this every
    day.
     It could be only a few
    minutes…
    Third step: think about a process that you
    have done
    For example, think about joining a video conference:
     First, I looked for the link the teacher sent
     Then I clicked on the link
     I waited to have access
     Finally, I got into the video conference.
    What other examples can you think of?
    Fourth Step: change  Set you phone into English
    some things in your language.
    daily life into English  Do a “to do list” in English.
     Switch your calendar in
    English.
     Read news , write a journal.
     Narrate something you are
    doing in English.
     Learn how to do something
    you like in English.
    Fifth step: Keep track of what you do
     Write down what you do in order to train your brain to
    think in English. Make it a habit!
    Sixth step: recap your day

     Before you fall asleep, think about what you did that day.
    CHALLENGE!

     “There are no negatives in life, only challenges to overcome that will


    make you stronger.” Eric Bates.
     “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” Helen Keller
     “Those who overcome great challenges will be changed, and often in
    unexpected ways.” Steve Goodier
