How to translate better

[michio727792]

Hello!
Im having a little difficulty translating sentences "correctly".
I translate things very literal than reorder it after the literal translation to make more sense
For example: Er liest nicht viele Bücher = He reads not a lot of books = He doesnt read many books.

I feel there is a better way of doing this.
I dont how to describe the situation or feeling.

I can translate English to German better because its just simply following the syntax/rules.

I appreciate any help in advance!

Just keep practicing until your mind does the "switch" without you realizing, that's fluency.
