i know it's different for everyone and depends how far you've come in your studies, whether you're low intermediate or higher, but im curious as to how much you understand when you for example read articles or watch yt videos or movies etc (with subtitles or without too, do you feel a difference?)
for example do you understand the majority, like almost every sentence, or do you understand half of it, do you understand most grammar forms and long sentences as well?
what are your experiences and how often do you have to look up words in the span of for example a 10 minute video?

im curious as a late beginner because idk when i would rank myself higher. i tend to underestimate myself (in the fear of actually overestimating myself lmao) so i need other peoples experiences
(although ofc it's different for every intermediate speaker, its quite the broad/vague question, i am aware)

[if you want me to, i could send a link to a random video or short article and you could tell me how much you struggled with it etc for me to get a feeling of your current understanding of the language]

ik this was a while ago but i found a video im curious about how much you understand
watch it if or when you have time ofc
you can lmk in percentage how much you understood or say every sentence, every second, most of it etc, im just curious!

항상 미래에 대해 걱정하고 생각하는 습관은
거친 사바나 초원을 누비며
매 순간순간 생사의 갈림길에 섰던
우리 인류의 훌륭한 생존 도구였습니다

지금도 사람들은 찬란한 황금빛 사바나의 기억으로
자기 전에, 일할 때, 밥먹을 때,
우리 조상님들과 같은 걱정을 하느라 잠 못 이룹니다.

하지만 먹고사는 걱정이 많이 사라진 오늘 날,
생각은 꽤나 자주 과잉이 되어 우리를 괴롭히고
앞으로 나아가지 못하게 합니다.

꼬리에 꼬리를 물고 이어지는 생각과 걱정에 지친 분들을 위한
머릿속을 스위치를 끄고 싶을 때 보는 뇌과학 이야기
「나는 왜 생각이 많을까?」
였습니다.

감사합니다!
