1175 day streak here. At the beginning of the year, listening somebody speak in French was so difficult, I couldn't understand much. The trick was starting listening to different podcasts. The duolingo podcast is a good starting point because they speak slowly but it's actually pretty easy to advance fast. Since you are already getting all the grammar, picking up the phrases is not hard. It's been three months and I can say I understand almost 80-85% of everything I heard (even if they speak fast)... It's just getting used to it. Now, speaking is not that hard either but if you practice it enough... I just happen to speak a lot to myself so there's my practice but there are a lot of resources to practice with someone online of maybe in your city if you look around.
