How to Stop Translating in Your Head

One thing that I would recommend is that you do something called overloading.
Another thing you can do to stop translating in your mind is to oversaturate part of your day with English, or do what I would call long listening.
Another technique to stop translating in your mind is called forced description, or as I like to call it, talking to yourself.
Another really cool technique that you can use is something called shadowing.
So I just mentioned that knowing a lot of vocabulary is a good idea, there's a technique though that you can use while learning vocabulary which will help you to stop translating in your mind, and it's called visualization.
As soon as you possibly can on your English learning journey, you should get an English only dictionary.
I've said most of what I've said in this video, in other videos, but I'm saying it again because repetition, doing things over and over again or hearing things over and over again, is part of the learning process.
