So very much this, I’ve been living in a foreign country for 6 months now and taking language classes. I can eavesdrop better than just about any other skill. Including understanding when spoke too directly.

Doesn’t help basically everyone speaks English.

I get this with my native language which country I still live in, Sweden, because I’m stuck at home the vast majority of the time due to illness and basically only read and watch things in English. So when I do get out I often forget Swedish words and have generally speak badly, it’s kinda funny.

You would have been SUCH a successful spy 40 years ago when top secret stuff was still mainly via face to face conversations 😁
