I have some Spanish speaking relatives and I can already read Spanish a little. Being a fluent speaker would have the biggest benefit for me.
Understanding Spanish from folks in Latin America is hard because they speak so quickly and with a different accent or dialect.

Technically, this prompt was only about speaking fluently. Maybe my understanding would remain similarly poor.

which is easier, fluency in understanding or speaking?
Understanding native speakers was always difficult for me.
Listening to Spanish or French radio or television w/o subtitles? That was a challenge

For me understanding is usually harder than speaking. Although, there have been times when I could puzzle out what was said and I definitely wouldn't have known how to say it.
