MODERATORS
I would recommend using face to face conversations to judge your English comprehension.
I am a native speaker with perfect hearing and I still have to use subtitles with any movie made in the past ten years.
I actually try to speak with natives through discord but I always feel like they talk way faster than the character in movies and I can't keep up.
Unfortunately (at least in the U.S.A.) speaking quickly is a bad habit that is typical among young people. In schools we teach students to slow down when giving a presentation or speaking formally.
You may find it more useful to find YouTube videos where people are presenting information on a topic. These "video essays" are typically done in a more formal and understandable fashion.
