Is Learning a New Language a form of Cryptology?
When you learn a new language, you take all the information you previously know and convert it into a new form, basically a cipher text. Though people who understand this new language can decode this new message, people like you who cannot understand this new language are confused by this message. Luckily, especially with the internet, it is easier to decode these but before technology simply writing in speaking in a different language was a way to code messages or information.

I sometimes feel like i have to decode sentences that I read in a different. Like you said, you replace foreign words with words you understand to see what the "message" is. To me, that sounds alot like cryptology.
