Change the setting if you can of the speed that the program ( Rosetta stone is guess ) is speaking or replay the YouTube videos faster.
Your brain needs to be rewired.

I speak fluent German and Spanish and of course English. I lived in Germany for 5 years and figured out that most Europeans that attend "high school" must learn 3 languages. Americans are just either fucken stupid or are so-closed minded people they only want to stay with English. When you learn a new language, you have a higher appreciation for the culture.
BOM DIA!

I started studying Spanish and Portuguese prior to travelling to Portugal and Spain but didnt really start to excel in comprehension and speech until I was in the country...especially in Spain, we stayed in an Air Bnb in Barcelona where there was barely any English speaking establishments/people.
I speak a good amount of French, bit of Spanish, portuguese
I still take the time to learn languages every single day on Duolingo....spanish, Portuguese, French, Mandarin, Latin ...and i kick it up a notch 2 or 3x the amount of practice before I travel to another country.

Huh? The reason you're having problems understanding a fast Spanish speaker is because the method you used to learn Spanish is going at a slow pace/ speaking slow.
I'd like to learn Italian, I had a cousin who was stationed in Italy in the 80s and he could speak it fluently. I took German I & II in junior high, French I & II in junior high/high school, and Spanish I & II in high school. The only ones I ever really got to use in practical settings were German, there was an old German lady at my tech support job and we used to chat in German over lunch. And Spanish. Tons of Taco trucks and hispanics around here so I'm good and fluent in that one. I've never met another person who spoke French. Oh and I met this FINE young sista who grew up in Hamburg years ago and I really liked talking to her in German. We said/did alot of nasty stuff in German. I'd like to learn Portuguese because I want to visit Brazil one day. My brain is getting old and foggy/forgetful in my old age though, I won't say it would be impossible to learn new languages at my age but it damn sure won't be easy.
America is about the only country where the vast majority only speak one language. You go damn near anywhere else in the world and the average citizen there will speak 3-6 languages. I was watching a travel vlog and they were in Eritrea and there was a young boy in a village who spoke 6 languages at 9 years old. Nobody taught him, he just downloaded language learning apps on his phone and taught himself.
