As an autodidact, these are my recommendations :
1. Think in english.
By making this you won't waste time translating words in your mind. Get used to it, and it will sound more naturally.
2. Invest on phrasal verbs.
They're vebs composed with prepositions, for example: "get over, look after, bring up, come across". The preposition changes the literal sense of verb.
Ex: "They bring up their child to be respectful with the society"
" Eles educam seus filhos para serem respeitosos com a sociedade"
*Veja que neste sentido bring up não significa "trazer para cima" e sim "educar".
3. Don't focus on rules of grammar if you are a beginner.
Firstly we must focus on learn the meaning, the pronunciation, just after having a good level we go to grammar. It's almost what we did when we are child: fisrt we learned to talk, write, then we learned the grammar.
