No, this is not an admonition to measure your words.

Most people who learn a new language usually think in their mother tongue, and then translate into the new language. This causes all kinds of problems because they tend to apply the rules of grammar from their mother tongue to the new language. And, create a mish mash as a result.

How to overcome this issue? Use the immersion method. What language experts call the Direct Method. Learn the new language without any intervention from the Mother Tongue. Learn it directly.

When you do this, you are also learning to think in the new language. Linguaphone 21 has been created for India as a mono lingual program, because there is a wide awareness of English vocabulary. So, people are able to understand and learn from an English-English program, and do not need to learn English through Hindi or Marathi.

When you start thinking in English and speaking in English, you are taking the first steps towards mastering it like your Mother Tongue.
