Thanks for the comment.
Your statement is true, up to a point. As they say about “how you get to Carnegie Hall,” it requires time spent experiencing the language in depth. It takes Practice, Practice, Practice.

Though a non-native speaker, I reach a state of “immersion” where I'm not really translating any more… except for specialized terms specific to the discussion. Over time, those too find their way into the “working vocabulary,” and the information flows more and more naturally.

I would think some of the information woul dbe hard to grasp because one is trying to translate at the same time. Focus woul dthen be an absolute must.
