When you study abroad, live abroad, or travel other countries, you will have lots of chances to speak in foreign languages.
Even if you try hard to learn languages, it’s not easy to reach the level like mother tongue.
If you are beginner, you know the basic, and can often understand simple conversation if they speak slowly.
People in the shop, on the street, or anyone who doesn’t know you, they talk to everyone in normal speed like talk to native people.
Or you may understand their conversation normally, but it’s harder when you talk on the phone.
