My problem with languages

Hello readers
I'm 29 and I have been studying English and French till since I was 18.

(since = desde, till/until=hasta; "He is planning to eat till he explodes")
After more than 6 years studying French I justcan only/barely read some little/small paragraphs, say a few words or order something in/at a bistro, but ever I can never/I've never had have a full conversation. Maybe my problem with French was my lack of interest onfor  it (my apologies)

Perhaps my problem with English language is a little bit different. When I was 15 I could listen and understand whatever I heard or read. Nowadays, I have many troubles/trouble when listening to people talk, songs, films...I can't understand what I am listening to!

I mean, if I'm watching a TV show or a film, first of all I put it on OVS, but it takes me a few minutes to understand what are they are talking about without reading the subtitles. When I'm listening to music, Queen for example, I have to be focused(or: I have to focus) on what Freddy is saying/singing and otherwise, I can't get/understand all the words.

I think I need to train my brain to be on more alert, so I would like to skype with different people with different accents (in order) to get my brain used to all kinds of English pronunciations.

Thank you all for reading this.

Great job! :)
