In any sphere at all, whether it is in any language, or in second language, or in life...Listening skill is of utmost importance. Good listening will help you to practice good diction of words. Art of phonetics will help you to spell words better. Hearing words clearly will promote there easier acceptence and relatation to other things. You can develop a good understanding in any language only if you have receptive skills.

I agree, L1, will definately differ from L2, in his capacities and in other fields too, but then at the same time, it will decide their relative understanding of the language or the topic of discussion as well.The one with better skills will fare better than the other one.
