But that's just a misconception, and one has to de-phase oneself in order to do that.

How can a grown person, fully functional, try to pretend not knowing anything?



So, if you know how to read, write and express yourself in your language, then you don;t have to learn all that in the foreign language. At the most, you have to translate what you already know in your language to the target language. Right?
