Listening and understanding

Last week my Aikido teacher told me very interesting phrase: "If you are listening to someone carefully you will understand this person even if you don't know the language".
That time we were discussing a question of why I understand him better than my Russian teacher. And he told me that he is able to understand his japanese teacher even if my teacher don't have sufficient experince in Japanese.
So, to sum up: it is enought to listen carefully to understand anyone you want to understand.
