How to handle events in Material Design Light mdl-menu

I am using Material Design Light without any other framework like Angular or android. Just plain old PHP, Jquery, MDL min css and js. Simple menu

<button id="lang-switcher" class="mdl-button mdl-js-button mdl-button--fab mdl-js-ripple-effect">
    <i class="material-icons">language</i>
</button>
<ul id="lang-switcher-items" class="mdl-menu mdl-js-menu mdl-menu--top-left" for="lang-switcher">
    <li class="mdl-menu__item">EN English</li>
    <li class="mdl-menu__item">RU Русский</li>
    <li class="mdl-menu__item">UK Українська</li>
    <li class="mdl-menu__item">PL Polski</li>         
</ul>

Menu item click must run js function like setLanguage(language)

How do i create listener for "mdl-menu__item" click? Should i use Jquery .click(function()) for every li, or is any other ways for using mdl-menu like select element?
