It´s not a big problem consulting the English-Portuguese dictionary sometimes, but it´s a big problem if you make it a habit. In your learning process, it´s extremelly important to build ideas in english, so, avoiding portuguese is totally adivisable. A very good dictionay for begginers is "PASSWORD" that gives this perspective, inducing the reader to analyse first all the definition in english, then giving the translation in portuguese. Try it first, then take an English-English dictionary.Try to connect the word in english with the image or the idea, action, context... When you do it, you improve your hability of thinking in english and the language starts to come naturally when you are thinking or talking and it´s how you achive the goal, fluency!
Hey there! There a nice website that you can subscribe for free and receive by email a new word everyday acording to your level not with translation but with examples of use and you can follow the link and listen and check it's meaning in English. It's great for students who are internet fans. It's www.speaking24.com
