This is the art of communication on a surface level. some people learn which sounds make which words, then form sentences from that. recently, i have experimented with 'syllable semantics,' and find it rather effective. this is where you hear a syllable and mimic the way it makes you feel, to get a physical interpretation of what the message is.
For example, the most influential sounds out there are sounds from nature and animals. for example, the sound of thunder, "grmblrmbl," will be understood in every language as being angry or trouble being near, yes? these sounds explain a lot of what the person is saying, as they hear these sounds and interpret them to mean that part of nature, of course.
But, it goes a lot further than that! if you were to break down syllables into semantic 'meaning,' you could come up with a few basic meanings for these 'sounds.' these sounds mean the same thing fro culture to culture usually, for example "ma" is the beginning of mother and means mother in many dialects. then there is "pa," or father, too. the difference here would be the m or p sounds, meaning different things, which we will get into shortly.
~ I live in africa, and have found that i can understand nearly any african words or basic meanings from listening to the radio and asking my black friends if i understand correctly? then there is face book, which also has many dialects, if you care for them.
So, if you hear a sound that you can turn into semantics, then you will understand the make up of the word. if you heard a word that goes "molo" in my country meaning "hello" to the xhosa people, you could say the "mo" is a thrusting sound, and the "lo" meaning up if you were to place your body into the sound, yes? this would be like "top of the greetings," "high noon," or "you great," logically, yes?
Thus is it is easy once you think about these things.
