What are some things I can do to help me think in Spanish?
I am a Spanish major at the community college in my hometown and I am having trouble getting to the point to where I am thinking in Spanish. Currently I have to translate everything in my head or something like that so it takes a while for me to respond to my instructor. It is starting to get frustrating. Any tips will be helpfull. Muchas Gracias, Santiago

My Spanish teacher always tells our class to learn as much vocabulary as possible. When you understand a lot of vocabulary, then you can move on to the next step, that is, "submersion." When you submerge yourself in Spanish, you only speak Spanish for a long period of time (for example, several hours). The more often you submerge yourself, the better you will be able to think in Spanish.
