Stop translating in your head

If you build every sentence in your own language first and then translate it, you'll always feel slow. Your brain is doing two jobs at once.
Start small: pick everyday things you say often (ordering coffee, describing your day, introducing yourself) and practise them directly in English until they come out automatically. The more of these you have ready, the less you need to translate.
