Man, I lived in Japan for three years, attended Japanese classes, lived with a gal who didn't speak English, and I NEVER WAS able to understand what others said in my presence.

My 1st wife was Chinese (met in Taiwan), her parents lived with us most our 14 years of marriage, and I never understood more than ten words of Chinese.

I've traveled around Italy during three trips there and can't learn five words of Italian. Some people can pick up a language soooo easily and others can't do it to save their souls. I think it all depends on how the brain is wired.
