*** Sorry everyone but at the moment I'm not looking for a language partner. I will let you know when I am :) *** Hello everyone. My name is Sam. I first went to Iran eight years ago and I really loved it. I love Iran and I really like Farsi. I think it looks beautiful and sounds great too. I went to Iran again recently, two months ago - and I was there for two months. I have been studying Farsi by myself for four months this year though I learnt how to read and write eight years ago. I'm looking for a teacher and someone to chat to. I am an English teacher as well so perhaps I can help you with your English problems also. Take care and nice to meet you! از دیدنت خوشحالم! :)

    * Sam's Word of the Day! * 'Dry heave' - verb, noun 'To dry heave' literally means to attempt to throw up / vomit, but no liquids or solids come out, i.e. it's dry! Really gross word I know, but I just came across a really cool metaphorical use of it! -- A 'dry heave' can mean you are so completely exhausted by your creative or professional work that you try to produce new results, but absolutely nothing comes out because your energy and ideas are totally empty. "I stared at the canvas for three hours, but my artistic inspiration just dry heaved and refused to paint anything." "After designing ten logos in one day, opening the graphic software gave me a creative dry heave." "When the manager asked for a sales strategy on Friday afternoon, my tired brain just dry heaved in response."

    Hi Adriana,

    Thank you for your comment on my article :) .

    You mentioned that you feel you're not sure if you're thinking or speaking correctly. I feel that the best, and maybe only way, to remedy this is to have conversation practice and receive feedback. 

    I think it would be best from both an English teacher and language exchange people. An English teacher could help you correct your mistakes and have better English but language exchange people could well help you more realise that your English does not need to be perfect in order to communicate effectively. This is also important I feel. I know a lot of students who get very stressed out about speaking correct English, usually because they're preparing for an exam, but actually they are often quite capable English speakers.

    I think that if you did both of these things regularly, perhaps twice a week, then you would gain more confidence in your English.

    What do you think?

    Hi Iqrar,

    Thank you so much for commenting on my article - it's my first one so I'm quite happy that it has gotten such a positive response.

    About thinking in English, a lot of it is a matter of practice makes perfect I think.

    I have a question for you  : do you translate in your head when you want to say 'hello' or 'how are you?' in English? I'm sure you don't. This just comes automatically, and these are pretty common phrases.  I feel that trying to encourage English to come automatically is the main thing.

    I've found these two videos that I think may help you :

    This has quite good theory about it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxQd6mjPNL0
    Something I did to learn Chinese was stick paper on everything in my room with their name in Chinese. This matches the same theory as in this video and it definitely helped to not have to translate them anymore.

    And this video gives more practical tips : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73x0WpNDxOk . , which are mostly the tips I give I think coincidentally :) 

    I hope this helps. 

    You have to give it a try though. Try some of these tips everyday for a week and let me know what kind of change you've noticed.

    1. The mountains *sharp peaks pointed to the sky*. - can't really use any of the words you suggested here because your words suggest movement - but the mountain doesn't move. Even in a creative / artistic way, the idea sounds a bit strange for a mountain to raise sharp peaks. 2. Stop looking at the ground; *lift* your head up. - raise already means in the 'up' direction so including 'up' in this sentence is unnecessary if you use 'raise' 3. When the fog *lifted*, we could see the road clearly. - here 'the fog lifted' means it rose and disappeared, this is a less common meaning of 'lift' 4. The dog *rose* its head and looked at me.
