Like listening any other language. The words best understood are the ones used for cursing and so.

This is EXACTLY what my fake English sounded like when I was a kid and pretended to know lyrics to songs

That is exactly how I feel when I hear english language. I know many languages, but English speach is the hardest to understand. I need to focus very much. Non native speakers I understand a lot better. English language is so foggy, ryming, with funny spelling competitions. The hardest part is to understand songs, if I am really singing right my favorite songs You have to look into lyrics. Sometimes you swear I hear a word like ''family'', but in lyrics it is ''memory'' and in other lyrics it is again ''family'' (which makes me thing the English people have same issues). And I wont talk about rap and hip hop songs . . .
