I do not agree with Angelica or Premium.

If you translate to your native language, to begin with, it is the only way you can understand what's being said in another language.

When you submit to transcribe (copy) and then translate to your native language, you are not only understanding what's being said in your language, but also how it has to be written/said in the other. Your brain picks up those instances and pretty soon your are getting your fluency. Especially if you couple it by reading out loud a paragraph/page and then listening to what was recorded, then repeating till you detect you have softened the part you hear yourself pronouncing in a bad way.

It is all very simple, and all these takes you to fluency.
