Yes, but nothing comes immediately. Patience and work are always fruitful.

Estoy seguro que si traduces lo que te digo, vas a entenderlo.

Si tuvieras que aprenderlo, lo más seguro es que no lo entenderías ni en inglés.

If you have to learn something, it isn't much. Else, all you have to do is to translate to English, that is what you know and are familiar with.

sí, quise decir "thought" o "pensamiento"

By saying that it evaporates I mean that it "goes away / floats away / doesn´t exist anymore"

PD. hay un dicho , "evaporate into thin air" que significa "to disappear (without a trace)"

Ya entendí. Perdona por estar un poco "lenteja" (lento), bueno más lento que de costumbre.

yip you do need a lot of patience to learn another language. some days are like " i'm doing good i can understand that" and others you go back a step thinking that you are not getting anywhere.

Unless you are a linguistic genius it is learned little by little. It takes a lot of time and effort. In order to keep at it you have to enjoy learning little by little. Each new word needs to be a little piece of enjoyment. If you focus on the mountain and how to get up it fast, it will defeat you. If you are able to appreciate all the various rocks and relax for the journey, not worrying about when you are going to arrive you actually get there, but only "poco a poco".
