I somewhat agree. I'm a native English speaker, but I use Japanese daily and learning Korean, now. Sometimes it is a bit of a jumble, but I attribute it more to laziness than anything else. My brain just reaches for the easiest word, and I have to struggle to find the correct one.
As a bit of an aside, because of the sentence order and cognates, when speaking Korean, I often first go from English to Japanese and finally can stumble out some broken sentence.
Japanese to Korean is almost a one to one mapping when speaking simple sentences, based on both languages being agglutinative and having SOV ordering.
