My Japanese is somewhere between N3 and N2. I can read 詳細設計書, 議事録 etc without much issues. I often watch Japanese TV shows like キリモリ and I can understand it about 70%. I speak with my coworkers during lunch time and I can understand what they are saying like 90%. However, when it comes to meetings, my rate of understanding drastically dwindles. I would say i only understand about 30-35% of the conversations, especially with those verb stem + verb (付け加える、詰めて話す etc) kind of words.
What do you suggest to overcome this issue?
For the context I self studied Japanese and never had any kind of formal learning experience except for the fact that since a few weeks ago, I started talking with a sensei on italki to improve my speaking skills.
