—I practice speaking English an English club.

How can you think in English? I think the best way is (practice) as what a football player does every day. During the practice, the football player passes the ball to his (teammate) over and over again. So he won't have to think  passing the ball in the game, he will just do it. You can train (you) to think in English in this way. The first step is to think of the words you use daily, simple everyday words like book, shoe or tree. For example, whenever you (see) a "book", you should think of it in English instead of in your mother tongue you have learned to think of words in English, you'd better go on to the next step—thinking of sentences in English.

 (listen) is a very useful way to learn English. Listen first and don't care too much about whether you fully understand what you're hearing. Try to say what you hear as (many) as possible. The more you listen, the  (well) you learn. After you reach a higher level, start having conversations with yourself in English. This will lead you to think in English.
