The problem with high school language classes is that the only thing they actually teach is memorization. They know how to read “the apple is red” but switch the words around and they’re totally lost.
Whole classes are basically just the teacher writing “gusta = like” on the board. You didn’t learn Spanish, you learned a less efficient version of machine translation.
The only solution I'd suppose is that we learn another language like you did learn English as a baby,
(eg. natural exposure to its sound, word order, and vocab context & tutoring by its native speakers)
