- Do you get frustrated because when you are trying to speak in English you need to translate from your own language first before getting the words out. This slows you down in conversation. What is the scientific explanation? We look at the science behind that. psychologists have been studying this phenomenon for years and in this video we'll have a look at what they say.
We will also look at how you can use this science to overcome this problem and improve your English.
Acknowledements: Some of the ideas are inspired by Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
(note that I get system 1 and system 2 the wrong way round from the book. Apologies for that)
