Think in French: How to Stop Translating from English – HERE AND NOW

Illustration by HERE AND NOW – The French Institute showing a woman thinking with speech bubbles: “think” in English and “penser” in French, along with the phrase “Pensez en français.”

Created by HERE AND NOW – The French Institute, this engaging illustration supports the journey toward fluency by emphasizing the importance of thinking directly in French. It features a friendly cartoon character pointing to her head, with the English word “think” and the French word “penser” in separate speech bubbles—divided by a red “X.” The French phrase “Pensez en français” reinforces the goal. This light, educational visual is the perfect complement to a blog post aimed at helping language learners break free from translation habits and embrace authentic French thinking.
