MWP- being a second language thinker

As a second language student one the ever main goals since I started was to become a real second language thinker; as I used to say by that time: "to think the way I do in L1"( mother tongue). To reach a level like that assures any learner to succeed in any language skill, because doing that he/ she had created a strong basement which will permit them to use L2 (second language)naturally. But how to create such a level? It seems an easy to answer question, since any unaware learner might think that any learning activity involves a second language thinking process, which is partly true due to the fact that any student is using second language thoughts when they are dealing with an exercise , specially those that requires a second language expression; however many times the answer or second language expression starts being constructed in mother tongue, which retards the process of being a natural second language user. Therefore a more accurate answer requires a more complex process that includes long hours of practicing, furthermore "using"the language in a natural context which forces learners to produce instant responses to add fluency to the conversation they are having, in order to sound likewise natural.
