  • How to Think in Another Language

    The truth is that learning to think in a language requires a lot of practice—and a lot of patience—but it’s never too soon to start trying! This week, I describe what I like to do when I’m learning a new language, starting from when I only know a few words, so intermediate learners may want to skip the first steps. You may find other techniques that you like, too!

    Do you remember life before the internet?

    Of course! I was young. The internet didn’t really become a thing for me until I got to college. That’s when I signed up for my first email account.

    Before then, I remember that the main form of digital interaction was through my TV. We used to watch the news and sitcoms at night. My family and I would have weeknight dinners from a takeout restaurant. It was pretty cool.

    However, I also had homework and curfews. It wasn’t as if I was living a complete, autonomous existence. They weren’t the prototypical “good ol’ days.”
