I'm learning two dead languages and I used to study German. Sometimes I'm trying to study or translate and my brain just stops taking in or putting out anything. Anybody else had that? If so, are there any work arounds?

    I'm somewhat fluent in two languages and something like what you are describing happens to me very often when I'm expecting to use one of them but suddenly have to use the other. Translating between languages is also way harder than just speaking both, even though it doesn't always feel like it should be, and it can feel like your brain isn't working.

      I'm basically just translating, so this actually makes a ton of sense. Thanks.
