Suggestion to directly understand language without your mind translating it to your native language?
I want to ask that, as I am learning Spanish via English so whenever I try to understand any speaker my mind first translates it into English then Urdu and then interpret it to me so it consumes a lot of time to cope with the tempo of speaker and I usually lag and sometimes it becomes frustrating. Any suggestion to directly understand Spanish without inter conversion of languages.

Question

Answer

Have you tried watching simple children's videos in Spanish?

I'm learning Romanian and watching children's videos (for example cartoons that would be viewed and understood by Romanian speaking children) has really helped increase my understanding.

I feel that watching such videos is slowly letting me learn the language without an intermediate translation.

Answer

Hi Umer! I guess is like learning any other language, I'm afraid there are no tricks or shortcuts, the more you get exposed to the language the less you'll have to think or translate.

Answer

When I started learning French I never translated into English because I didn't know any English at all. So when it was necessary I translated from French into Spanish. Did you try with any Urdu-Spanish translating dictionary to help you?

After learning some vocabulary and expressions I never translated again, but I needed to do it at the beginning.
