Funny thing, when I have to "think" about a response in another language, it messes me up. But if someone comes up and asks a question or just says something to me, I respond in a fairly coherent manner.
It's inside my head, it's just how I go about getting it out.
An old radio bud/mentor from back in the '70s was a morse operator on a ship back during WW2. His wife said that sometimes she would find him tapping out what appeared to be code messages in his sleep when they were in bed.
Code made sense to me and it was important to learn it and use it because it was pat of our life-line via radio with re-supply, fire-support, dust-off, or extract. But as I write this, I must admit that speaking code as a ham operator to an experienced ham on the other end is daunting.
