That is true for some cases, but also not for a lot of others. The German language is a great language as is English; there are a lot of sentences and words which pop in my head in German and I cannot translate them adequately in Dutch (my mother tongue) or English and I have the same with Dutch and English. I think you need to read more literature and analyze the beauty of your language; you are missing out if you only go for 'mixing up words' in a practical manner.
