    The funny thing is that partially we can. It’s the funniest shit to watch a group of Portuguese, Spanish, French and Italian people. Kind of like watching an English speaker somewhat understanding Dutch.

      Yeah but you can’t really understand them it just sort of sounds like you should be able to and you’re not hearing them properly. You have no idea what they’re actually saying.

      The ebb and flow of the languages are almost identical, but the words are completely different.
