🌿 시리즈 소개 (Korean Version)

영어 학습은 문법이나 단어 암기를 넘어,
생각의 방식 자체를 바꾸는 과정이에요.
이 3부 시리즈에서는 ‘영어식 사고(Thinking in English)’가
무엇인지, 왜 중요한지, 그리고 어떻게 훈련할 수 있는지를 다룹니다.
조금씩 마음의 언어를 영어로 옮겨갈 때,
유창함은 입이 아닌 생각 속에서 시작됩니다.

☀️ Think in English, Speak in English

Part 3 – How to Train Your Mind to Think in English

Thinking in English is not magic.
It’s a habit — something you build little by little, every day.
You don’t have to live in an English-speaking country or speak perfectly.
You just need to train your mind to stay in English.

Here are some simple but powerful ways to start:

---

🌿 1. Start Small, Think Simple

You don’t need deep conversations. Begin with what’s around you.
Say in your mind:

“It’s cold today.” “I’m washing my face.” “The bus is late again.”
These small sentences help your brain connect daily life and English naturally.

---

🪞 2. Name the World Around You

Look around and name objects in English —
cup, curtain, mirror, notebook, cat.
Soon, your brain will automatically label your world in English,
just like a child learning their first language.

---

💬 3. Talk to Yourself in English

Use inner dialogue to think and react in English:

“Where did I put my phone?” “I should make some tea.” “That’s interesting.”
It might feel strange at first, but this is one of the most effective brain trainings.

---

🎧 4. Shadow Native Voices

Choose one short video or podcast, and imitate not only the words, but the rhythm and feeling.
Repeat what you hear right after the speaker.
You’re not memorizing — you’re synchronizing your brain and tongue.

---

💗 5. Stop Judging Yourself

Don’t worry about being perfect.
Broken English is the bridge to fluent English.
Every mistake is proof that your mind is learning to think differently.

---

🌼 Final Thought

Don’t study English anymore — live it.
The moment you start to think, feel, and dream in English,
your voice will no longer need translation.
It will simply be you, speaking freely in another language.

---

💬 Quote for Reflection

“You’re not just learning English — you’re becoming someone who lives in it.”

🌿 Korean Reflection

영어식 사고는 단번에 이루어지는 마법이 아니라,
매일의 작은 습관에서 자라나는 훈련이에요.
주변 사물을 영어로 떠올리고, 속으로 짧게 말하고,
틀리더라도 주저하지 않고, 들은 영어의 리듬을 따라 하다 보면
어느새 ‘생각 자체’가 영어로 변하기 시작합니다.
영어를 배우지 말고, 살아보세요.
