  1. I agree with this method, it really works for words which you can imagine or touch, but sometimes I have problems with abstract words like "view" "fairness" "downplay" "excitement" "rebuff" they contain more then one concept. In my opinion it can be corrected by daily practice with these words and trying to explain them in English. This case can be a really demotivating factor to speak more correct and presentative when you can think more adult and complex, and your mind says "haha you have only a child vocabulary say goo-goo da-da" 😁 Thanks that you are helping us to think in English, Rachel 😄🥰

  2. Hello, Rachel! Thank you so much! It was a great lesson! At the present, I can think in English, but not quite fast.

  7. ❤Hey Rach, you've been really helpful 😊 to me. When I got comfortable with spoken English, there was something else I wanted to improve, and that was none other than my accent. I was quite confused 🤔 and didn't know what to do. Then I found one of your videos that literally helped me out.I just wanna express my gratitude to you for being so valuable.❤
