The Role of Mindset and Experience in Language Fluency
Fluency in a language is influenced heavily by mindset, confidence, and real-world experience, rather than just vocabulary or grammar knowledge. Traditional classification systems, like the A1 to C2 levels, often fail to capture a speaker's true abilities or behaviors in practical situations. An example is given where two individuals at the same A1 level demonstrated vastly different fluency experiences, one lacking confidence while the other, despite the same formal assessment, actively engaged in communication. This underscores that fluency also depends on how one behaves and feels when using the language, suggesting a need for a more nuanced approach to measuring proficiency beyond standardized tests.
