Well, when I studied English, I don't remember who now but someone recommended me that I should think in English instead of my native language while speaking English… So I think your teacher is right.

I do have dreams in english sometimes especiall when I'm watching english movies before going to sleep… but I definitely don't know it in perfection=) Actually If I want to have a dream in english most likely I will have one… I think it's a sign that your studies are going well… nothing more.

 

 Well,

language while speaking English… So I think your teacher is right.

Yeah, unfortunately for me is possible, hehe. What I mean is that when I have to say something in English firstly I think it to myself in Spanish and then I say it in English. Crazyness, I know…

   Angelina, I was told once from my own English teacher just the same advice. At the first time when my English teacher told me that I thought she's kidding or making fun of me but she were talking seriously. Now, it has more than three years since I talked to her and we keep in touch by the internet 'cause she's living in Canada and I live in KSA but the funny thing that I haven't dreamed in English yetUndecided.
