Actually I have a weird problem, and the title might mislead, even though it's very accurate. I translate things into French in my mind. Uncontrollably, compulsively. Badly. I mean, I'm not 100% sure, but considering I don't know French that well, my translations aren't likely to be very good. Especially considering that I occasionally get bits of Spanish sprinkled in.

Quite frankly, it's maddening. I'm trying to listen to an audiobook and can't focus, because I get distracted by a stream of bad French, as well as trying to get it a bit right.

Maybe it's an OCD problem, although I haven't heard of anything like that. But it feels similar to counting every number in sight which I used to do when I rode public transport more often.

Well, of course it doesn't happen if I'm listening to something already in French (although my focus isn't that brilliant even then).

Or maybe it's an attention issue, because I feel like it gets easier if I put the speed up to 2.0x.

Anyway, it might seem funny, or even cool, but it's actually more and more annoying.
