Deep dives

Translating in Head Leads to Slow Sentence Formation

Translating in your head while speaking English can result in slower sentence formation. When students translate, the sentence structure can become awkward or incorrect, signaling a need to translate. This delay can hinder fluent communication and indicate a reliance on translation. The solution involves training the brain to think in English deliberately, treating it as a developed skill like speaking, reading, and listening.
