    For an educated native English speaker, using “the” is second-nature. Someone speaking English as a second language using the “the” in a place where it isn’t necessary or leaving it out when it is would sound a bit odd, but it would still be understood. When I began trying to learn Spanish years ago I had a bit of an issue with using la/el. There are places in the Spanish language where the article is included where it typically isn’t in the English language, so I know where you’re coming from.
