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?

Like nearly as fluent except when I get lazy and stop thinking of “fancy” words to write. English has a lot of fancy words: vocabulary synonymous to other elements of the lexicon. I don’t know those types of words in Portuguese lol.
I can understand movies fine but prefer captions regardless of the language being spoken unless I am in a very quiet room.
I’m brazilian and my family thinks I am really smart for knowing another language but really I just watched YouTube when i was a kid so uh yeah I’m not sure how fluent I actually am since I’ve only met other second language speakers.
So many synonyms in english, it’s crazy! I quite like the specificity of certain words.
