I was just wondering about all the Europeans (excluding UK)… like do y’all understand… say, an American movie or TV as well as those in your national language?

English is my third language.
I’m dyslexic and socially awkward, so when it comes to speaking all three are pretty bad.
Writing, reading, and listening (if I’ve got my glasses on) is easier, so also about the same, but better than speaking.
I watch and read mostly English spoken media (at at least 1.5x on youtube and 1.33x when it comes to series and movies, so I’m fairly fluent, I suppose, though sometimes it’s hard to find the right word or phrase (that’s probably the dyslexia, though), and I’m quite certain I tend to accidentally mix English with whatever they speak in the US, since the majority of the media I consume tends to come from there.
I’m fluent enough that it irks me when people mix “its” and “it’s” or write “could of” or things like that, so there’s that, I suppose.
I also know what each of the words in the phrase “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo” means, if that counts for anything, but only because I looked it up the first time I came across it.
