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?

    There are certain sayings, phrases or slang that I may not be intimately familiar with.

    This says nothing about your fluency. There are tonnes of English slang that Americans are unfamiliar with, and vice versa.
    Hell, there’s a lot of Singaporean English that doesn’t exist in the minds of Brits and Americans, but Singaporeans are still fluent in English, it’s just different from what people consider “true” English.
