I want to learn English without mental translation. That is, I want to think in English. Each time I read something in English, I must first translate it to my native language. Also, whenever I hear English, first I must translate it to Portuguese, before I can understand what was said. This is exhausting and frustrating for me. Some say that it takes time to reach my goal. That may be so. I'm going to practice more. I know I can do this. If anyone has some tips to give me, please let me know.
-- very good attempt. Immersing yourself in the language, or chatting at length every day is your best goal to improve your fluency.

Hi friend, you isn't native so you will always make the translation in your head before. For example: if you are brazilian and you speak Portuguese you won't think about the translation of the portuguese word. Even when you become a fluent speaker of some language you won't stop thinking about the translation in your native tongue. The only thing that will change is the fact that you will make the translation faster!
