My spoken English is alright but not perfectly fluid, because I rarely speak it. The only person I know that has a better grasp of English is the boyfriend of my mom who actually comes from England.

That's what a decade of consuming exclusively english media will do to you.

I wish I could do that for other languages. I'm fairly good at French, but most of the time iit's harder to find information in French, and if there is it won't usually be as good as English so I'm just stuck using my native language.

I wish it was that easy with Japanese. English is so fucking easy to understand that you only need a handful of words and basic grammar to start learning and understanding your first sentences. With Japanese you need training and a couple of thousand words to understand at least a few words per sentence.

Let's hope in 10 years my understanding of Japanese is at least half as good as that of English.
