I study languages a good deal with the hope of one day being a translator, and I've noticed an occasion where, if I'm listening to someone talk even in English (my native) I just can't understand a word that's said. Once at work it sounded as though Charlie Browns teacher were speaking and not a person. Most of the time the words become a blur and I suddenly can't think too clearly. It happens only for moments mostly. Is this just a case of too much concentration? Is there a way to know when you're spending too much time concentrating beforehand?

I would think it could be that you are sort of overtaxing yourself. If it continues, then you could talk to a doctor about it.

Could it be that you're stressed? I experience the same issue myself which also manifests as difficulty processing didactic instruction (especially during lectures). It's as though the words wash over me/bounce off my ears but don't enter my brain. >< I attribute this to my bipolar though, so if you don't suffer from that then perhaps try taking a break to clear your head?

could it be an auditory processing disorder?

You are over exhausting yourself with all kinds of languages. Just go with slow pace and learn one thing at a time.
