<p>hey guys,</p>
<p>since english is not my native language, I have this kind of problems while I write my essay.</p>
<p>I used ‘image-train’ in my essay as a verb, can I do that?</p>
<p>I googled it but I couldn’t find any satisfying answers… I thought you guys could help me out.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot and god helps us all.</p>
<p>I don’t think that would be correct. Maybe you could give us the word in context? Can you show us the sentence you used it in?</p>
<p>This is how I image-train soccer.</p>
<p>I wrote like this</p>
<p>i have know idea what that word means.</p>
<p>closest things i would guess are imagine (see soccer in your head) or enter the mindset (prepare for soccer in your head)</p>
<p>This is how I do image-training of soccer.</p>
<p>how about this…?</p>

<p>What are you trying to say?
is there any other way to explain it…cause for me i have no idea what the phrase “image-train” means</p>
<p>like… I visualize the soccer field and put myself into there…
visualize other players and ball, and play, practice in my mind.</p>
<p>I want to mean this</p>

<p>How about using your own words:</p>
<p>“I visualize the soccer field and put myself there. I can visualize other players and the ball, and I’m able to practice, in my mind. I call this ‘image-training’.”</p>
<p>I think the word you are looking for is “imagine” not “image-train”.</p>

<p>I agree with heyalb, #8 .</p>
<p>yeah
i think it’s “imagine training”</p>
<p>u need to rephrase that sentence. it doesn’t make sense</p>
<p>I think the term generally used would be “visualization.” Here is an example of that usage specific to soccer: [VISUALIZING</a> SUCCESS IN SOCCER. (Mind Over Sports)](<a href=“http://www.mindoversports.com/sports/visualizing_success_in_soccer.html]VISUALIZING ”>http://www.mindoversports.com/sports/visualizing_success_in_soccer.html )</p>
<p>I also agree that heyalb made a good suggestion about how to include *your *terminolgy in your essay.</p>
