[How to stop translating in your head | Speak Italian naturally]

Would you like to speak like a real Italian?
Can you imagine yourself speaking Italian naturally and hearing the language flowing out of your mouth freely and without hesitation?

There are a few simple steps you can follow to make your dream of speaking Italian come true:

1. BE SURROUNDED BY THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE
Listen to audiobooks, podcasts, songs and do it while you cook, drive or sleep.
Have Italian with you as much as possible, no matter what you're doing.
Allow your brain to familiarize with the language. It will be easier for you to speak and understand the language after a while.

2. USE A MONOLINGUAL DICTIONARY
In a monolingual dictionary words are not translated into your language; they are described in Italian.
What a great opportunity to practice new words and be surrounded by Italian!

3. NAME OBJECTS AND SAY WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN ITALIAN
Speaking to yourself helps a lot, as I write in my ebook "PARLIAMO ITALIANO!".
You can point at any object you see and say its name in Italian.
Or say what you're doing in Italian: "Vado in palestra", "Faccio colazione" ecc....
That will allow you to become confident with Italian vocabulary and expressions and soon the language will flow without hesitation.

4. WRITE WORDS OR SENTENCES ON POST-ITS
Use post-its to remember sentences and words.
You can write something like "Mi piace cucinare la sera" and place it in the kitchen.
Every time you see the post-it, you'll remember the sentence and it will become automatic. You can use this expression to practice the use of "Mi piace" or time adverbs (la sera, la mattina, il pomeriggio).

You brain will absorb the language and they will be friends soon!

This simple steps can be very useful to take your Italian to the next level.
Try them out and let me know!

Your friend,
Francesco
