<p>^^ agreed. People’s definition of fluency is often very warped, and they’re frequently under the idea that fluent=native, when it’s not. You can definitely become fluent in the language through courses (or even on your own); you simply have to try hard: expand your vocabulary, understand and study grammatical structures, and construct sentences with those elements/principles in the four modes of language (reading, writing, listening, speaking). It’s not a herculean task.</p>
