Hunglish.orgWhen trying to learn a new language, take into consideration the fact that most people who are speaking the same language often don't understand each other either, so try not to be too hard on yourself.

I knew a guy once back in college who, besides being perpetually drunk or high, was always saying “That’s what I’m talking about.” He would then often follow that statement up with the rhetorical question “You know what I’m talking about?” Whereupon he would reiterate his original hypothesis: “Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. Yeah...”
The thing was: I never did know *what* he was talking about.
I don’t think he ever actually said anything really, although his lips were moving constantly and sounds never stopped coming out. In fact, he never shut up.
Sometimes I’m pretty sure he was talking about breasts, because he would point at them and start nodding his head and saying, “See that? That’s what I am talking about,” even though the conversation might have been on a totally different subject.
Other times he was 'definitely' talking about derrieres.
At times, it was not so clear what he was talking about and I am not sure he knew either.
At times, words have no meaning. Sometimes words are just sounds we get used to making.
People can prattle on for hours without making a lick of sense.
Sometimes language learners get frustrated because they cannot understand everything. They have to understand not everything makes sense in the first place.
That’s what I’m talking about. You know what I’m talking about?
