Is it bad that I am thinking in English while learning languages?

My family speaks one language, but I live in a English speaking country, so I use it everyday. So when I'm learning a new language, like spanish I feel like depending on thinking in English and translating the words subconsciously in English is slowing down my learning. Even my family tongue, I think and speak structure is based off English so direct translate makes me sound weird at times for my family tongue. Again going back to the idea that I am thinking in English.

Or is this normal?
