How can I be fluent?

A language study is an interesting, but long process.
Read a lot, listen a lot and one day you will be able to be fluent in your target language.
We need about 500 hours of reading and listening and 100 hours of speaking to be fluent.
That’s why don’t think much of it, just enjoy studying!

Thanks, very much!

“We need about 500 hours of reading and listening and 100 hours of speaking to be fluent.”

If so; what the hell’s wrong with me?

By creating a definition of “fluent” that matches your level.

In other words, “I can’t understand what people say, I can only say a few things but I am fluent.” I guess that might work until you need to use that language in a real situation.

From what ive been getting, if its your first language (Your first second language).
For some, it can take more then 500.

And it also depends on what language your beginning with (your native tongue)

For English to Arabic for example, the expected hours is 2200.
500 is just assumed for English to a romance language (Italian, Romanian, Spanish etc)
And even then we are all different, it could take you 400, or it could take you 800.

You have to just enjoy, im learing a lot of lessons the past week on
expectations and its humbling

You cant learn a language, you can only adapt it as part of yourself. Metaphorically of course.

Fluent in introductions :smiley: lol
