Based on my own experience, it sounds fairly normal. Native speakers tend to speak quickly and sometimes don't speak very clearly--they may contract some words, use slang, or use non-standard constructions, just as English speakers do in casual conversation. All of this makes it very difficult to understand native speakers in a language you do not speak. But don't worry--you will get used to it, and most people are very patient and helpful if you ask them to speak slowly and repeat themselves. although... some people may get frustrated if you ask them to repeat themselves alot.

When is grammar acquired?
Grammar is acquired from the very start of learning language as an infant, by listening to parents and other people around the child when they're talking. Children continue learning grammar as they grow and develop. They learn the grammar of the people around them, whatever language is being spoken, until they reach elementary school and begin to learn the rules for grammar. Children of any age can learn the grammar of new languages and adults can too; but the older you are when you are learning a language, the more the grammar of that language will need to be taught, unlike acquiring it as you grow. Grammar is one of the most important factors in speaking any language. Even the smallest task in daily life, such as buying something from a store, or buying a house or apartment, will be much easier to accomplish with a good understanding and use of grammar.
