There is something about dealing with a second language all the time that makes your brain naturally take in stuff and process it later. I know sometimes people will ask me a question in English and it takes about 10 seconds for the language to find the right path in my brain and by the time it has been processed, I find my mouth already reacted and said "What?" and then I realized I did in fact hear and understood.

Then there is the other side of it when I am so used to ambiguity in conversations that I just smile and nod and don't even put the effort into listening to what was said, which results in confusions where someone might tell me something important or ask my a question and I completely miss it and cannot remember what was said. You're brain gets lazy.
