Personally, watching TV...Very interesting insight.<br /><br />Personally, watching TV shows or movies, or listening to podcasts, etc., is enough to send my imagination into those worlds and create internal dialogues.<br /><br />I didn't expect to hear that this is not the case for other language learners, even if they otherwise have the instinct to do internal monologues. This would imply that having a language partner is as important as actually meeting them!Alexandrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03690416393726608647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30114385.post-13078869393485192152011-01-22T08:04:34.777+00:002011-01-22T08:04:34.777+00:00Thanks for this article.

That means that in my thoughts I am conversing with people. For example after multilingual Skype conversations I continue thinking in my foreign languages about what else I could say to my Skype partners. During the normal day my thinking language constantly changes. This comes automatically and is very natural. The difficulty is to get into such thinking habits, when you have languages on a beginner level because then your vocabulary and grammar is still limited. I am learning this with Danish at the moment. After my Danish lessons and Skype chats in Danish I have some "easy level thoughts" in Danish. Partly I can now already think in Danish without having real Danish communication in advance. When you use foreign languages in a foreign country there are more triggers available which force you to think in the foreign language. So that's the easier way. But from my personal experience internal foreign language dialogues can also be achieved without any travelling at all. For example I can think in Italian and Spanish, but I have never spoken these languages in Italy or Spain. <br /><br />FasulyeFasulyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760929188490295948noreply@blogger.com
