I'm kind of going through the same thing in Spanish. Only I don't have a good source of a Spanish speaking individual as he has in you. I don't know how it sounds in English but listening to Spanish without knowing what they are saying can make 2 words sound like one word that is different. For instance I remember this phrase from a movie Romancing the Stone "El tenedor del diablo" which Micheal Douglas translated into Devils Fork. In my head for many years up until a few days ago Eltenedor was one word. Now I do think watching TV in Spanish is going to help me and in these few days my vocabulary is growing so I'm pulling more and more out of it. With body language and my growing vocabulary I can almost make out what they are talking about. I know I will use my Spanish someday even if it's making small talk. I do not know enough to talk to someone though.

The same happening to me, but with the different that my case is with the English.
