Are you still translating French in your head? It’s likely why you’re struggling to speak and understand French with the fluency you want!
In this lesson, I’ll explain how you can stop translating in your head and start thinking in French instead. You’ll learn exactly why translating slows you down, why many French expressions don’t make sense when you do it, and I’ll give you some practical ways to make your brain start naturally thinking in French (just like a native speaker).
I’ll give you a simple 7-day ‘French Thinking Challenge’ to help you start building this habit, plus some listen-and-repeat exercises of real, everyday spoken French.
Want to speak French with confidence and ease? Let’s get you thinking in French!

There’s something exciting happening in Venice this week!
And I am not talking about a certain high profile wedding.
Along with the bustling tourists, hundreds of physicists will be descending upon this ancient city in order to talk about the future of our fields.
We have the Open symposium for the European Strategy of Particle Physics that will be taking place all this week. Find out more in the video!

Submerged beneath oceans, buried in the bedrock, or even swallowed by the land under our feet… Earth’s ancient continents have gone missing. For decades, scientists have been on a quest to unearth these lost lands, but how do we go about finding them? What makes a continent “lost” in the first place? And once found, what can lost continents teach us about our planet’s past, present, and future?

Quetzalcoatlus, one of the largest known flying animals, survives in science as sixteen wing bones pulled from Cretaceous Big Bend by grad student Doug Lawson in 1971. Paleontologists reverse-engineer the rest of its body by referencing its Azhdarchid cousins like Zhejiangopterus, and Q. lawsoni, making inferences from extant archosaurs like birds and alligators, examining trackways, and modeling their wings in flight software. Still, there’s a lot that they don’t know about how these giant pterosaurs lived. Thin bone walls, rare 3-D preservation, and million-to-one erosion odds explain why cousins Hatzegopteryx, Arambourgiania, Cryodrakon, and Thanatosdrakon remain fragmentary in the fossil record. The sparse clues they left behind have inspired a wide range of depictions in documentaries over the years, the pinnacle of which was Prehistoric Planet from the BBC’s Natural History team.
