Portuguese is pretty tough. I just completed my B2 level class and I still can barely understand more than 40% of what Portuguese people say to me, and that’s coming from a background of also having taken other languages in American high school. I have since determined that what we learned probably wasn’t very functional, and much was probably just wrong, but we only had to pass tests, not actually understand a native speaker.
Not when you are a monolingual American living in Portugal trying to learn Portuguese. Lol
