How can you think in English? To answer the question, first I want to speak a little about my learning process. I am an user of Duolingo since August 2015. If you do not know what is, I will define: it is a App and a site web for learning a new language. Althought I put me the goal to be bilingual when 2015 started, I did not have the objetive. However I could mantain my interest to study english by using Duolingo. Now I have a streak of 191 days and I do not want lose it. But it is necesary for me do not translate more. Many exercises in Duolingo are of translating, I mean, I need to stop use this app. In my case I have to translate English to Spanish and Spanish (I would say: and viceversa). To resume this app has help me to get the goal in my mind. But now I must be more fluent.

To answer the question, first I want to speak a little about my learning process.
I have been a user of Duolingo since August 2015. If you do not know what is, I will define it: it is a App and a site web for learning a new language. Although I had the goal to be bilingual when 2015 started, I was unable to fulfill it. However, I maintained my interest in studying English by using Duolingo. Now I have a streak of 191 days and I do not want lose it, but it is not necessary for me to translate anymore. Many exercises in Duolingo are of translating. I mean, I need to stop using this app. In my case I have to translate English to Spanish and viceversa. This app has helped me to reach my goal,  but now I must be more fluent.
I want to recommend these places:

Your English is looking good! I have also had this problem with Duolingo. I have found the best way to improve from here is to practice speaking with native speakers. If you're interested, I am starting to teach English lessons on iTalki:) Good luck with your studies!

But it is necessary for me do not translate more. But Duolingo focuses too much on translation (note: in spoken English, it is okay to start a sentence with 'but,' but in formal English it is usually not correct.)  Many exercises in Duolingo are of translating [better: require you to translate], I mean, I need to stop use using this app. In my case I have to translate English to Spanish and Spanish (I would say: and vice versa) and vice versa.
