Is that even possible, or just hyperbole? I'd bet the latter. I wouldn't be surprised if some people are able to fully unravel entire paragraphs of conversation in their head in a couple of seconds, but that's not something you could teach to children in general.
I don't think it is feasible, at least for conversation, but as an aspirational goal for children, along the lines of "put your toys away when you've finished playing with them", it is not a bad one.
It's not unusual for me to think I know how I am going to end a sentence, but then find that I can't get there.
in Dutch (and German) the verb often goes at the end of a sentence, so the advice is rather practical.
Dat week ik heel goed :(
*weet, thanks autocarrot
German children would with you disagree.
