Is it possible to understand English movies perfectly being a non-native speaker?
I'm 17y and think my English has improved to a good level. I can hold entire conversations confidently, read English literature without translating 99% of the words used. But I've been struggling to understand the actors' speech, what surprises me because I'm able to listen clearly to the spoken English used by youtubers/podcasters/streamers. I've read a lot of accounts about that. Apparently, there are native speakers that complain about this too, they blame the audio mixing and the new trends to mumbling when it comes to acting. But, on the other hand, my friend, who is a non-native speaker like me, is able to understand perfectly without subtitles, even though he's never been to foreign countries (we're Brazilians). So I'm a little confused about who I should believe. Is it worth putting much effort into that or is it over for me? And I want to know if you (non-native speaker) are able to understand English movies perfectly or almost perfectly.
Will learning an European language help me learn English?
Hello. I'm a student learning English. Recently, I got curious about if learning any European language as my 3rd one might help me memorize advanced English vocabularies, and maybe gain useful insight to the grammer, word use, culture, etc. Of English since it has roots in European languages. I heard most English words are from French, German, or Latin words(and I think I'm pretty interested in Spanish, Italian, and French.) So, I googled what European language will be the most beneficial to learning English. But most results were just explaining general facts about the relationships between English and European languages. So if there's an English or European native here, I'd like to ask if learning an European language would likely help me improve my English. If so, I'd like to additionally ask what language would be the most beneficial for that. Thank you for reading this. Hope you have a good day!

What's the opposite of cunchy when it comes to apples?
It may involve a food culture difference. Most apples are crunchy but in many Asian countries, non-crunchy apples are also popular. I can't find a word to describe how they taste like. What's the proper adjective here? Thank you in advance.
