About speaking
Yesterday, I went to an English conversation class.
Usually, I go to the beginners class but yesterday was the normal class.
All other students speak English well.
I want to know how do they think when they speak English.
I take a long time to translate Japanese to English.

Great job!! I know the struggle of trying to think in your new language-- I end up speaking Arabic slowly and in a very English way, unfortunately. Best of luck to you :)

Hi Maki. When you think of "火災" what do you think about? Probably that 火災 is hot, can burn, can cook, is dangerous. You probably think of the characteristics or idea of 火災.
When you study the English word "fire," do you think of the Japanese word "火災?" If you study like this, you will always be slow and have to translate in your head. Instead, when you study the word "fire," think of heat, burn, cook, dangerous, etc. Think of the idea of 火災, but not the Japanese word 火災. Connect the English word to the idea or meaning of the word, not to the Japanese word that means the same thing. This will make it easier to think in English.
Good luck!
