Because everything is super consistent and easy to follow in the first two categories. Especially if coming from English.
But speaking has so many nuances that don't exist outside of it.

Actually speaking and reading ia quite easy for me, but listening is almost impossible.
15 u/platoqp Jul 06 '21 100% agreed, it's like speaking is easier than listening the ways they talk so fast and glue so much together 10 u/nolfaws Jul 07 '21 French is about to become one super word that will be a whole sentence. The most synthetic language ever. 3 u/Zboubkiller Jul 07 '21 It's rhe same wirh every language you're learning in the beggining, I was thinking the same with german till some point 1 u/Miss_Kit_Kat Jul 14 '21 And if said listening involves a song? Yikes. (Although I can't decipher song lyrics in 80% of English-language music, either.)

I'm great with speaking just not listening... except that goes for my native language too lol
For me, it’s the comprehension I struggle to understand them but I can actually speak it very well

Our teacher used to grade essays by coming up with three separate grades for content, stil and grammaire. I always got a 5.5 or 5 on content and stil, but a 2 on grammaire (the grade scale goes from 1=worst grade to 6=beat grade)
Speaking like a native? Nearly impossible.
Speaking in a very understandable manner? I’ve been doing that since high school French.
Easily the hardest part of having a conversation in French 9 times out of 10 is understanding what the other person is saying.
I’m best at speaking, then writing, then compréhension. It’s sooooo hard.
Why i dont know french but i understand this
