I recall the first time TDD really worked naturally for me, I was like OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I'd read a lot about the practice, but it took quite a while before I was good enough where I wasn't stumbling around in the dark. TDD isn't as effective when you have no idea what you're doing.
It took me quite a long time and I still don't TDD all the time to say the least. But I think it depends on your personality/coding style. It took me years, but along the way I learned that TDD was way less common than most people imply, and its use actually pretty rare.
"Uncle" Bob Martin has a great powerpoint on learning TDD: butunclebob.com/ArticleS.UncleBob..... For any new language or test framework, he solves the Bowling Game coding kata. Following his examples helped me understand TDD better.

How much time did you need to work naturally with TDD ? Any advice for newbies ?

Interesting, I'm always see and hear that devs(seniors maybe ?) says "TDD has a lot of benefits, you need to use". Thanks Ben.
