My easy Japanese

You know the standard reciprocal pavlovian situation here : when you are said "Your Japanese is (really) good", it should translate : you're still far from home baby. Or so the saying goes. I tend to think that the saying is as much part of the illusion than the sentence said. But what about that one : "your Japanese is very easy to understand."? I got this first time comment from the other side - Japanese - at the end of an assignment the other day. How'd ya interpret that beyond the clear enough meaning of it? Or is the best option to take it at face value? That's what I have chosen to believe. Your tailor might be rich. My Japanese is easy to understand. Even Japanese reckon the fact.
