Is it normal that i don't understand what people are saying but still respond?

A lot of what I hear people say is just sounds coming out of their mouths. I can tell from their tone that they expect a response so I say something incomprehensible back to them.

    But in all seriousness if I can't understand some one I ask them to repeat it until I can understand or they get fed up and give up. I try to make it seem like its not there fault so I'll say oh I'm sorry I had my stereo up really loud and my ears are still ringing or something like that.

    For goodness sake, get your hearing checked! That's probably the reason and pretending to understand when you don't could make your life unpleasantly complicated

          Wirklich? Verstehst du das? Или я делаю это слишком просто? Låt mig veta om det fortfarande gör känsla. Ok? :) cos if this is to easy I can always try out some Laotian I had a good friend in college that taught me a lot of that as well as enough Chinese to get me arrested in China.

          And I didn't bother with Spanish becos that would just be to simple. If you get all of these I can scramble the letters in them as well... :)

            Doing better than me, I'm stuck with my Monty Python Hungarian-English phrase book - which is only useful if I want to get arrested in Hungary.
