- Speak before you feel ready. Share your ideas confidently, even when they aren’t fully formed, by thinking out loud in English.
How many times have you worried that your English just isn’t good enough because, when someone asked you a question in a business meeting, you struggled to find your words or express your idea clearly?
In job interviews, busy meetings, and even conversations with friends, it may be expected that you’re ready to respond to questions… even while you’re still thinking about what to say.
If you’re naturally introverted, you may prefer to think before you speak. You might prefer to have your ideas fully formed and perfect before you share them.
This is very similar to how you might feel about using English - you might prefer to think and have time to get all your thoughts together before you speak.
To help you feel more comfortable thinking out loud without getting stuck, even when your thoughts aren’t 100% clear or your idea isn’t fully formed yet, here are 4 Instantly Effective Strategies for Thinking Out Loud in English.

I am keep thinking out loud and talk to myself. Today, i know that, thats a *problem*. But i hsve to say that talking with myself improved my english a lot. Especially my speaking skills. Since i had nobody to talk to, but i talked with myself. And when i came back to school after a long time, my teachers were talking about how my english was good
I'm not an introvert but I also prefer to think before I speak or express my ideas.
American English is my second language and because of this Thinking out loud while I am in the middle of a conversation is my big challenge. I think that’s important to know a lot of vocabulary in different areas to improve my skills
I'm talking to myself and I realized that it's a great way to improve your English, however I am concerned because when it come to speak in real life I am sort of shy and sometimes I am not able to express my thoughts.
Hi, thank you for sharing. You are off to a great start by talking aloud to yourself. For more in-depth training and practice on expressing your thoughts, you can check out my 'Get the Confidence to Say What You Want' video. www.speakconfidentenglish.com/say-what-you-want-in-english/
You are the greatest teacher from CZcams. Congrats.
Thank you.
I shared your videos with my children even though they are having degrees from USA.
Hi Anne you are a beneficent teacher
if I have a friendly conversation, I fill the void of my speech with parasit-words, for example : you know :) And I try to use moving my hands because the main goal of our communication anyway is understanding each other.
That's a good idea.
Thank you so much for your great videos. I've learned many strategies from you. To be honest, I love the way you speak. Your words are really gently. That is so impressive to me.
You are so welcome! I'm thrilled to know my videos are helpful to you and thank you for the kind comments! I wish you much success on your English journey!
Dear Annemarie you are the best at what you do...i honor and salute your teaching style 👍👍
Thanks so much.
I prefer the strategy of piggyback with the others' ideas. It seems that people like to be affirmed or flattered, so it might be easier to engage in constant discussion and conversation.
That is an excellent strategy, Lin Simone. 👏
It's funny that I'm more introvert, but I love to think out loud 😄
The most exciting strategy is the first one for the beginning when I'm stressed. My phrase will be: "Before I answer that I would like to clarify the details we have decided to share. Maybe someone has an addition or change to the past decision?"
"We didn't go teaching to get rich but to enrich others."
To all teachers,Happy Teachers Day !!!!💕
Teaching is the most noble profession in the world. It serves as the pillar of our society since it institutes other professions as well. Every 5th day of October, we celebrate World Teachers’ Day-a day where the struggles and hardships of our teachers are appreciated and rewarded.
Happy Teacher's Day!

Hi Anne. You are too good for us. I can't express my thoughts about your articulation of this language also your personality coming out of your words. It's really commendable. I will be the happiest one to get your reaction on this apart from saying thank you. I am also a small teacher of English in India.
Greatful for this class!

Strategy three : What are your thoughts on scheduling job in the weekdays instead of weekends.
Every week I make sure I listen to your videos Ann. This is a journey and And these videos help me to improve my English
Hi Annemarie,
Thank you so much for your video, I learned a lot from you and enjoy every topic!
Ellen
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for always sharing your great knowledge of English in real daily life. Probably I choose the third method you have taught me to get through the struggle that is not ready to express my opinion. It is the same in both my native and English language situations. For example, assuming a conference in real work, I would say: "I think both Plan A and Plan B are very nice. Could you please let me hear the evidence of each of you who support A or B Plan, so that
they help me express my ideas very well.”
You are very welcome!
thanks
Amazing
Hi Annemarie,
An interesting and informative lesson.
I appreciate your efforts and learnered new things.
Thank you,
Your video is very helpful. And I also really like your channel, hope you have more meaningful lessons and videos. Ah, can you add a topic about IELTS?
I'm thrilled to know that my videos are helpful to you! Thank you for the suggestion, I will add it as a future topic. In the meantime, check out this video interview with Ben of IELTSPodcast, czcams.com/video/JhPfULG1CzU/video.html. I hope you find it useful!
thanks very much Annemarie. I'd like the third and forth strategies: invite others to my mindsacpe and piggy back other's points.
I'm worried all the time. It's my fault because i did not pay much attention learning the language before. Now, i feel like i want to learn everything all at once because i desperately need it. I do understand English very well but speaking and writing are definitely my weakest areas. I'm trying to dedicate more time learning English by religiously listening to Annemarie and others on CZcams.
Thank you for the comment. If you haven't yet, I recommend downloading my free training, "How to Say What You Want in English," where I share tips to improve your speaking skills. www.speakconfidentenglish.com/say-what-you-want-in-english/
Love your way
i'd like to use strategy number 3. invite them into my mindscape haha. i would like to see what happens in the meeting.
I am thinking to express my opinion like below: I can't agree anymore, but I would like to add that if we take care A then will benefit more to B.
I'm just thinking a little out loud here but what if we commit a little bit more with our english learning? ... I'm just trying to use one of the forms that the teacher provided us. Thanks.
Would've been
Could've been
Should've been
Must've been
Could you make a Video for these?
i dunno know how to use these ..
i hope you grant me this favour
Massive Thanks Teacher Anna Marie God bless you and your Family 👍❤️🙏😃
Thank you for the suggestion! I will add it as future topic.
Maam, please teach us the words those can replace the outdated words and teach us synonyms such what exact words have to be used while writing or speaking besides grammar
Thank you for the request, Immran. I'll certainly consider this for future topics. In the meantime, you can find many of my vocabulary lessons in this playlist czcams.com/play/PLFpsDakL_p51m3S-66DR9oFerFQJJjkdB.html
As an introverted person, most of the times I use the 4th strategy.
Those are great ideas, but what are your thoughts on exploring new marketing strategies. What's your opinion regarding this.
Ain't broken no need to fix it.
Hi Annemarie, I love your lessons. They are very helpful for us to improve our spoken English. Thank you for your effort.
I'm thrilled to know that my lessons are helpful to you!
As always, stylish and beautiful

Hi,

Hi, Lamiaa Abdullah! You can find out how to learn with me in my online courses at speakconfidentenglish.com/courses
I couldn't agree with the points you make here! As an introvert myself, I get frustrated with my communication skills both in English and my mother tongue.
I am just thinking out loud here
CONGRATULATIONS
I love the piggyback
I've did an interviw and I was not that good in there.
🇰🇼♥️🇬🇧
Hi,teach I like your lesson English In business speak very well 6 ♡HOW DO YOU GO TO WORK? DO YOU live downtown,Wilson ? Yes, I live with my mother.She work an apartment near here.Oh,só you Drive to work.Actually, I go walk to work in morning.
once you add the word BUT to the sentence you then cancel what you just said before the word BUT .....
jolie chemisier
I know only to type ' lol '
I’m not really finding this helpful for the topic. The first part is a good way to alleviate anxiety around sharing ideas that aren’t fully thought out yet but it does nothing to help you actually think of those half thought out ideas in a acceptable time frame. While adding the extra sentence seems like it helps buy you extra time to think of ideas it generally doesn’t because it’s basically impossible to think in words and talk at the same time so all the extra time spent talking is not giving you any extra thinking time.
I couldn't help listening to my closest circle.
