It means you're not directly translating but you clearly know what's happening in the chapter. I'd love to be able to read fiction in another language. I'll just have to work harder!

I’d love to be able to read fiction in another language. I’ll just have to work harder!

I now try to read one chapter of one of the four gospels every night in English and then wake up in the morning and read the same chapter in Turkish. The gospels seem to be the best to start with because they are narrative. Works great. I also was a high school English teacher and taught such works as Of Mice and Men something like 9 semesters in a row. Reading it in Turkish was great because I know the story so well.
