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?

I speak, write and understand English as if it were my native tongue, but I was married to an English-speaking woman for many years and spoke exclusively with her in English for over 12 years. And I’m really drawn towards language/math/music/programming, etc., so I don’t think I’m very representative.
But my country is well educated in English. In fact, some parts of the country seem to be forgetting their native language because of all the goddamn foreign (American) influence in popular and global culture.
Very annoying if you ask me. Just, anglicisms everywhere, shit that doesn’t sound idiomatic to our language at all. Expressions that sound like they were run through Google Translate when it first came out in 2006, basically a word-for-word, 1:1 translation. Sounds stupid af.
Anyway, /rant.
