How To Finally Think In English

the human brain is broken down into four

different lobes we have the frontal lobe

the parietal lobe the occipital lobe and

the temporal lobe but the temporal lobe

is what we want to focus on because it

processes memories and integrates them

with different sensations now I want you

to think about a baby when a baby is

born their brain is basically empty but

over time they have a series of

connections formed in their brain and

these connections lead them to

eventually be able to speak now what we

want to focus on is the center these

connections how are these connections

formed or made you see these connections

can be broken down into four different

types emotional connections physical

connections relational connections and

location connections and these

connections are each based on triggers

and there are three types of triggers

seeing hearing and interacting so for

example let’s say the emotion of

happiness this is a connection in the

child’s brain well they see people

smiling they hear people laughing and

they interact with their parents when

their parents hug them or let’s say the

physical connection of eating they see

people using utensils to eat or they

hear people chewing or even the

interaction that happens between their

parents when they’re being fed now for

family connections they see dad mom and

sisters and brothers often or they hear

them call each other and they interact

with them by seeing them spend time with

each other and also with themselves and

finally outside this is a location

connection well they see trees and

plants they hear birds chirping and

their interaction comes from even

touching leaves and bugs so all of these

things are connections that are in the

child’s brain and they’re fostered by

triggers that leave them to eventually

be able to speak now how does this

translate for you as an English speaker

how can this help you think in English

that’s what we’re gonna talk about in

today’s lesson welcome to speak English

with Tiffany I am teacher Tiffany let’s

jump right in

all right so we said again that we’re

looking at the temporal lobe and it’s

broken down into four different parts

dealing with connections we have

emotional connections physical

connections relational connections and

location connections now the triggers

that are connected to these connections

need to be in English so in other words

we have to create new English triggers

for see hear and interact so for example

let’s say someone asks you this question

what’s your favorite food in your brain

what immediately happens is your

favorite food

pops in your mind let’s say your

favorite food is Indian food I actually

also love Indian food now the emotional

physical relational and location

connections pop into your mind for

example amazing physical eating Indian

curry relational with family and friends

and location in a small city these are

the connections that pop in your mind

the problem is the triggers are

initially in your own language so we

must switch them to English triggers now

again see hear and interact so for the

emotional connection we have amazing you

need to find videos podcasts and

articles that are talking about feeling

amazing and happy so let me show you how

this is done so for example 4c again a

video about feeling amazing or happy I

found this video called filmmaker reacts

to crazy Hollywood camera techniques by

a guy named Peter McKinnon even looking

at the picture you can see he’s excited

about what he’s looking at so the

trigger doesn’t have to be exactly about

the question it just needs to be about

the emotional connection of amazing or

happy then for here a podcast about

feeling amazing or happy I found this

podcast feel-good podcast with Kimberly

Snyder and finally for the interaction

trigger I found a blog about feeling

amazing or happy so the title is ten

simple ways to make you feel good

instantly from life hack org so again

these become my triggers for that

emotion

of happiness or feeling amazing so now

if I move to the next one the physical

connection eating Indian curry so just

like before I need to see a video here a

podcast and then interact with a blog or

article that speaks about eating in the

incurring so here we go I found a video

on YouTube it’s called two dollar curry

versus $75 curry by BuzzFeed video so

again I’m watching a video connected to

eating Indian curry what will happen is

this will become my trigger and help me

speak more in English because I’m

hearing them talk about it in English

for the podcast the same is true on a

podcast called the curry chronicles a

podcast by gastropod and then for the

interact trigger I found an article

called Indian food the best dishes in

each region now by looking at each of

these triggers I will be able to think

in English about that connection the

physical connection of eating Indian

curry

okay now the relational connection with

family and friends the same is true I

need a video a podcast and a blog or

article that triggers that connection or

shows me that connection so for example

for the video I found a video on YouTube

does our newborn baby look more like mom

or dad or so what happens in that video

I will see families interacting together

but they’re speaking in English which

will help me or help you speak English

better and think in English when you are

thinking about the connection of

relationship okay then the podcast

family relationships with Nicola beer

family marriage and divorce and then

finally for the blog or article I found

one called true friendship again by

doing this you’re helping your brain

think in English about that connection

they become your triggers and finally

the location connection about a small

city a video a podcast and a blog or

article here are the ones that I chose

for the video how to survive living in a

small town I just went to youtube and

type in small

and this popped up so I watched an

individual who’s speaking in English

about living in a small town then for

the podcast small town big church

podcast and for the article people who

live in small towns and rural areas are

happier than everyone else

researchers say so once again by doing

this I’m giving my brain more triggers

when I want to talk about the location

connection and all of these triggers

will be in English so this is what’s

gonna happen

the gentleman when he received that

question yes immediately thought about

Indian food and he had the connections

but now the triggers will all be in

English because he has put that

information into his brain and he has

these memories in his temporal lobe so

what happens when he goes to answer he

will answer because he has thought about

it in English and this is how you think

in English I hope you enjoyed this
