Quick takeaways

  • Fluency in English can be achieved by practicing with non-native speakers, challenging the belief that only native speakers can help you become fluent.
  • A combination of conversation-based lessons, immersion in English through movies and music, and a major in English language at university can significantly improve English proficiency.
