The secret to speaking Spanish without having to translate from English is thinking directly in Spanish. To do that, you have to get used to the underlying structure of each sentence.

Of course, being able to translate what you're thinking in English into Spanish is better than not saying anything, but most of the time it requires more work than simply recalling a familiar sentence structure. The key word there is familiar—understanding something at the intellectual level won't cut it, you have to practice several times to make it automatic.

A great way to build this muscle is by simplifying complex sentences and by adding complexity to simple ones. Every time you work through a new structure, you're creating a new reference point that will help you say what you're thinking without taking any English detours.
