Don't engage the images or phrases when they appear. It's like keeping two things in your active mind at once. You may not be aware of it, but when listening to someone talk in a language you know, you are taking in long segments of sounds without trying to understand them, then after you've heard maybe 3- 10 seconds your mind searches the stored short term memory for meaning and even skips back and forth in the temporary "recording" to extract meaning. When learning a new language at first you will try to understand one word, then while thinking of that word you miss the rest of the sentence. It's a kind of training for longer short term memory and attention span, which you just have to perform. If you pay attention to the process of understanding a vocal message, therea are two processess taking place, the listening to the sound, and the forming of meaning. These are different layers. You are simply failing to let the meaning form in the meaning layer, because your attention span and ability to keep long messages in your "listening" layer is lacking.

I can compare it to martial arts also:
When you know the basic movements from having practiced any martial art for a certain time, you can watch an instructinal video and "feel" the shown moves in your body as you watch. When getting up to perform them yourself, you can do it on first try. You are simply getting the full sequence from your temporary memory and translating it into a physical "meaning", in the form of movements.
It's a similar process.
