Same with the Scandinavian languages. You can mostly figure out what they're talking about, but some words are just gibberish. I had two Danish girls try to hit on me at a bar here in Sweden many years ago, the only thing I understood was that they found me attractive because I look like Bob Dylan and they are fans of him. Danish is especially hard, IMO, even more so when it's spoken by drunk people.

"Ein bier, bitte."

and

"Willst du fich mich?"

Most likely they were using them in the opposite order there, and the beer glass helped ice the swelling.
