Once you master a second language, how does your brain interpret the input?

I am fully bilingual but I mostly read in English.

How is my brain capable of reading English and directly provide me with images and feelings instead of trying to translate into French (the language I was born with) beforehand?

Thank you.

The same way the first language does. At your most basic levels, you aren’t learning about the world because of your mastery of language. Although it may not seem that way, language is just one of the many, many things that you use to understand the world. Language is a just a very deliberate method we use to cue feelings and memory in other people’s (and our own) brains.

I’m also just talking out of my ass and have no knowledge on the subject
