I'm from Europe and i find myself doing the exact same thing. Pisses my teachers off ^^
Even if I can't understand shit of what they're saying.
I'm sitting in the library right now listening to two girls chat away in Japanese. They're studying for a Spanish exam, though, and are continually switching between Spanish, Japanese, and English. It's fascinating.
This is just so damn interesting.

Agreed. I think it's fascinating to hear other languages being spoken -- it's just fun to hear the different pronunciations of certain things or even new sounds (such as different letters that your own language doesn't have). I always like to try and figure out what they might be saying, just based off the context of where they are and what they're doing.

I especially like to listen to people speak in Japanese, I don't know why but I find the language particularly fascinating to listen to
