"It's been funny to see how some parts of the media and audiences think that I should know English perfectly well by now."

Simplified meaning
People are surprised that I don't speak perfect English yet. They think that I should be fluent because I have been exposed to the language for a while. This reaction is similar to if someone moved to a new country and others quickly expected them to master the local language and customs. Learning a language takes a lot of time and practice, so expecting someone to speak perfectly in a short time is not realistic. This shows that people might not understand the effort needed to become fluent in a new language. It’s important to be patient and supportive with anyone learning something new, whether it's a language or any other skill.
