Question about いつ

いつ can be written as 何時 but usually it isn't because なんじ (what hour of the day) is also the same Kanji.

いつ is used to denote "what time". 時（とき） is used to say the time that x occurs.

いつ日本に行きますか？(Literally) What time period will you go to Japan?
日本に行った時に声をかけてください。 (Literally) At the time that you go and arrived in Japan, please give me a yell/tell me.

I understand what you mean, and I do agree with you, but my question is, how can I think in japanese if I do not know much about it?

(P.S. I dont think in english, I think mostly in portuguese/french)

Sim, tradutores da internet são totalmente fantásticos...Parabens por te ridicularizares ainda mais
O francês é extremamente diferente do inglês, lá por haver palavras semelhantes isso não significa que sejam "identicas"...
Cada vez fico mais "sick" com a tua idiotisse...

I understand it's hard at first but you must keep on trying. No translation.
