The Complexity of Fluency
Achieving fluency in English is not a straightforward process and does not have a clear end point. Unlike other subjects, language learning does not have a definitive '100% fluency' mark. Native speakers themselves continue to learn and improve their language skills. The concept of fluency is subjective and varies depending on individual goals and definitions. Language learners often achieve a high level of conversational comfort without realizing it and should appreciate their progress rather than solely focusing on reaching a specific fluency milestone. Factors such as natural abilities, study habits, and commitment also impact the time required to become fluent in English.
