Listeners versus speakers. I am a talker more than a listener. Consequently I speak better in foreign languages than I can comprehend. Generally I would say listeners are better with languages because they hear language patterns over and over. I used to think that it’s easier to speak than understand as you can speak at your own pace, and either a vocabulary of about one thousand words. However when listening to a native speaker in a language they could throw at you and one of the twenty thousand plus words they know, and rapidly and idiomatically for that matter. So for me its easier to speak than understand another language.
