Thank you for sharing. I’ve come to enjoy listening to things- poems, songs, conversations- in languages I don’t understand as an immersive experience. Recently I attended a jummah where the sermon was in Spanish, a language I have a beginner-intermediate knowledge of. I’d didn’t listen to understand, I just listened and felt I caught more of it by doing so, if that makes sense. I felt more attuned to the tone and sentiment than if I were focusing on catching the words I knew.
