I’m the opposite with Japanese, at least. I can construct sentences and know what to say, but when native speakers talk to me, I just can’t follow well at all.
My guess would be textbook language vs reality slang.
So OP might be able to listed to a newspaper but would loose context in a slang-heavy tv show
Maybe also a case of dialect vs standard language

How did you learn it? I’m actually curious because that would probably explain why.
I took some class in college, otherwise via apps like WaniKani, Duolingo and Busuu.
