Step 30: Try Thinking in the New Language

Challenging one's self to think the language is a fun and fresh way to engage in
the learning process. If real-world output is hard to come by or if the learner just
has time to spare, they can run monologues in the chosen language in their
heads. It is a good way to pass the time but also a way in which they can practice
sentence construction in a conversation. When the learner engages in real-life
interactions, they will find that the conversation will flow much more smoothly.

Having questions in the learners head that they have prepared answers to will
enable them to speak without clearly. This also eliminates the need for awkward
pauses to think about what to say or poor sentence structure. Having a dictionary
comes in handy when doing this too. A learner can create dialogs with language
they do not yet know and will have to translate. This aids in the memorization
and learning process.
