Ever tried to understand a foreign dialogue, what was the first thing you noticed?

I joke that some foreign languages sound like birds talking.

Body actions
Facial expressions
whether happy or distressed
My gut feeling of the experience
empathy for what they are feeling
putting myself in their shoes as they are speaking
sometimes I might not understand the words
but understand their feeling...their meaning This post was edited by Baba at October 14, 2017 6:50 PM MDT

Hi Veena.  The first thing I noticed is that I don't understand them. :-p
