The thing that got me when finally speaking to natives was how fast natural speaking is. You think you can understand things fine but that's because the teachers and apps are speaking clearly and slowly and waiting for you to parse each sentence. Natural conversation isn't like that.

Accents as well. You can have the rain in Spain falling mainly on the plain as much as you want, but it's not going to help any foreign visitors to Newcastle or Liverpool.
