Dothraki doesn't just sound badass — it's also an actual language. Like, you can sing Hanson songs in it.

On Tuesday's Late Night with Seth Meyers, Emilia Clarke explains how she learns her Dothraki lines for Game of Thrones: by listening to recordings, then repeating the lines in her kitchen until she sounds convincing.

Still, learning a new fantasy language is no easy feat, and even the Khaleesi sometimes slips up. What does she do to recover? She sings "MMMBop," of course.

We just hope she gets the syncopation right. For Hanson's sake.
