Speaking in a Scandinavian tongue will at least turn the tables on those of us who have to listen to you. Very tit for tatty of you.
I feel that sometimes the opposite of your technique would actually work better. That is, instead of trying to hear ALL of the words being said, try to pick up only the ones that matter. People talk too much as it is. So I think you are getting confused because you are drowning in a sea of extraneous verbiage.
I like this approach because not only does it work it also requires LESS EFFORT because you don't have to listen as much. Laziness and Utility rarely converge in life, but this is an exception.
Words words words. I remember when I was researching my master's thesis I came upon this medieval Arabic satirist who had written an entire treatise on how the anus is cleaner and thus holier than the mouth. Muslims have cleanliness laws and so forth (kind of like Jews) and this guy made a case that since more shit comes out of peoples' mouths than their assholes that the asshole was a more Halal(muslim kosher) part of the human body than the mouth.
Of course there are some people who talk out of their ass. I don't know what that Arab satirist would have said about that.
Speaking of people talking out of their asses I should shut up.
