This is a technique that can be done indoors as well, but it works particularly well in nature. Give it a try! The steps:
1. Find a place where you can spend some time studying outside in fresh air.
2. Finish your studies by reading aloud.
3. Stop and consciously try to feel and hear the words you just read resonating and reverberating in your head.
4. Set an intention not to turn your mind to other things, but to just hear and recall these words and others you have read for a few minutes.
5. Try taking a deep breath first and keeping your mind attuned to the sounds as long as you can hold the air.
6. You can do this even at a relatively early stage; when you advance to the point when you can start to think new sentences as well as recall the ones you have read, you need to add another conscious intentional step:
7. Turn off both the impulse to panic and the instinct to translate in your head - when you come to a word or concept you don't know yet, just skip over it, leave it blank, and keep your mind calmly thinking in the target language.
8. You might only be able to do this for a matter of seconds at first, but as you practice the technique and get better in the language, you will be able to do this for longer and longer.
9. The chief benefit of this is developing the ability to think directly in your foreign language.

The natural or direct method was popular for teaching French, German, Spanish, and Latin from about 1890 - 1920. It formed the core of Berlitz materials at that time, and was a major influence on the development of the Linguaphone courses. In the 1950's, it was revived by the Nature Method Institute in Copenhagen, which first published Hans Ørberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, as well as parallel format methods for English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, and Danish. While Ørberg's books are still in print, all of the others have long been hard to find. Thanks to the Internet Archive, increasing numbers of these are freely available in digital form. And now thanks to Ayan Academy, they are also being made available again in handsome hard copies as well. Ayan Academy is actively engaged in updating this material, expanding the range of languages to include Turkish and Czech, and providing free audio material for all of these on its YouTube channel. This is a fantastic undertaking to rescue undeservedly obscure material for all those with polyitis! Please visit, explore, and support them at: youtube.com/c/AyanAcademy/videos
