Do you translate English and Spanish into your native language in your head, or can you parse the meaning fluently without doing so?
As an English speaker I lose track of what people are saying in films. It took me forever to learn how much what people say in films matters and isn't just background noise that fills in the space around action scenes. The combination of visual and music is usually enough to derive the meaning and feeling anyway.
- borroka 6y agoI can parse the meaning fluently. I'd say I noticed English becoming its own entity (that is, I stopped translating a high speeds between my native language and English) a few years ago, although some days are better than others.
