It' s easier, and more efficient that way.
When I translate between an English speaker and a Spanish speaker, my mind is in constant translation mode. It can be an exhausting thing to do especially if when Spanish is the lingua franca Portuguese or Italian speakers.

Correct. it is exhausting to do that all the time. That tells me you are not fluent in the Spanish language.
My system will take you to fluency.
