Rubro,
Most people in the Netherlands speak, read, and write English better than many native English speakers in the U.S. and the U.K. I suppose that you have been speaking English since you were 6 or 7 years old, and you have ready access to English-language radio and television. So, you know the formal language and the slang, the connotations of words, the nuance.
In short, I doubt that you face much of a language barrier.
Some people have trouble with trances because they try too hard. It's rather like telling yourself at night that you have to go to sleep...because you need to get up early in the morning. For me, that's the sure way to stay awake for several hours.
For trancing, relaxation and repetition are key elements. Patience. Relax, listen, and enjoy! :-)
