Fluency to me is being able to put a smile on the face of the native speaker without a lot of struggle.
Yes! You can notice when you are giving them a hard time to understand you. It's great to be understood!
@@josecontreras7153 exactly.
My struggle usually makes them smile lol
@@MononokeSLAYER That's what I was goings to say... or when I make embarrassing mistakes! But yeah, humour is a good indicator. :)
Well put.
Accurate, I can understand about 95% of what I'm reading but when I'm speaking the range of words that I use it's lower and basic, I might seem like I just started to learn the language what it bothers me.
Ella Bruneth ikr!
It’s even harder when you're used to more obscure words and can't just wantonly insert it in a conversation. It feels like there's a rock stuck somewhere inside your mind.
ik this is posted 2 years ago, but if you’re still struggling, i highly suggest that you keep practising speaking. Your brain just needs to convert most passive vocabulary to active ones! Remember the time you struggled with reading. You improved your reading by, well, reading more. :)
Fluency is being able to express what I want to say as articulately as I would be able to in my native language
That's your own definition of fluency. To each his own.
Thank you, Luca! I definitely share your viewpoint on fluency. I think people focus too much on accent or vocabulary, and they tend to forget about pronunciation and essential vocabulary. Because, let's be honest, I'm not gonna need to know all the names of tools in my daily life if I don't work in a field in which tools are used. People need to think of THEIR daily life and think of what kind of vocabulary is relevant to them.
Fluency for me means being able to hold a conversation consistently. I've been learning a second language all year and this is my medium term goal. Ki te whakaharatau au ki te kōrero ka pai ake au. Ki te kore au e whakaharatau ka wareware.
Very soon I'm going to speak English, I know I'll achieve. Since 8 months ago I'm studying it and these advices are quite good for me. Thanks
You seem to be doing pretty well so far. For 8 months learning you can express yourself well and although there are some things that aren't the way a native speaker would talk it's clear what you are saying. A native speaker would probably say "I've been studying for 8 months" or "I started studying 8 months ago". Also advice is singular in English i.e " this advice is".
I understood you very well. You are well on your way to achieving the level of fluency you want. Maybe even just about there.
Clearly working hard at your English. Keep it up 👍
What's your mother language?
Your English is really good.
I consider myself fluent in 5 languages even if to varying degrees.
Until recently I hesitated learning a 6th because I thought I should
reach the same high standard as most of my other languages. Instead
I've just had the motivation to learn Hungarian and I'm fine with
accepting that I only want to learn sufficient for elementary
conversation. If I'm enjoying it I can always aim higher subsequently
but until recently I had never considered learning languages below a
B2 level. So it's a relief to realise that it's OK to do that.
I don't think people realise things about fluency like: I can discuss
all kinds of fish in Italian because that the language I was most
exposed to regarding fish but I'm no good at discussing fish in
English despite it being my native language.
I can best talk about art history in German as I learnt the terminology
whilst at university there. So fluency in a language is a very vague
expression. How fluent are you in the legal language of your native
tongue if you haven't studied law?
SPEAK LANGUAGES & TRAVEL THE WORLD have you used or heard about LingQ?
@@goodlife8060yes, I do know Steve Kaufmann's LingQ but I haven't used it as yet. Seems useful. Do you use it?
SPEAK LANGUAGES & TRAVEL THE WORLD yes it’s very good, and Hungarian is gonna he added soon
That was a fishy tale. Interesting too.
I’m so impressed with your English - your vocabulary is a step above a handful of native speakers I know!
Slightly contradicting the video... hahaha!
True, he used many uncommon words like portion and that's important for fluency unless you're trying to have a simple conversation
@@jadorealissawhite-gluz5706 - Luca's English is great, but 'portion' isn't very uncommon... Also, I imagine it has Latin roots.
Wait until you see Luca's Spanish or any of his other 12 languages haha.
His vocabulary is above average imo, meaning it's above most native English speakers, at least in America.
I still think that we should have D1 and D2 categories for achieving language mastery beyond average native speakers. Especially people reading a lot or studying etymology have much deeper understanding of the language and larger vocabulary than average native speakers. I hate to say it, but a lot of average and below average native speakers are Americans with mediocre vocabulary... and even in UK there are so many natives with unusual accents in rural areas of Scotland or Wales who are not that great with intricacies of a more advanced language.
It all comes down to MASTERING the most common words and expressions !!
Nice way to put it Manuel! =)
What I use to determine fluency is how my mind processes the language. To me, I am fluent at a language when my mind doesn't TRANSLATE a word but instead UNDERSTANDS the word. Here's an example: In Chinese, the particle "de" is added to a pronoun to make it possessive. A non-fluent speaker would see that and say, Oh, that's the possessive particle! A truly fluent speaker would see that and not think "possessive particle" but instead just move on and read the rest of the sentence, applying that principle. It's like instinct. Whereas a non-fluent speaker looks at a text and translates it, a fluent speaker looks at a text and understands it without converting to English. For any bilingual (from birth) people, this concept makes much more sense. Next time you hear someone speak your other native language which you use less, notice how you don't translate the sentence but you just UNDERSTAND it.
I like your way of describing it. It is like moving stuff from conscious part of the brain to unconscious... as with muscle memory for language. Just like when you start driving car. You have to pay attention what does each leg do, and how you hold the steering wheel, and what each hand does when you want to turn on headlights, and start the engine, and turn on wipers and change a gear and so on... and once you get "fluent" at driving, you just think I want to drive faster, I want to turn on wipers... you do not put any thought what must each leg do as you change gears, you just do it.
Is that also the reason why i cant explain my native languange to other people? Because i feel like it's just like that, idk why is it like that, but it has been like that :'D
Caro Luca,
you are a big source of inspiration for me.
I do agree with you: make it happen in real life!
Thanks for the great video
Tiziana
Fluency to me is when I understand 95% of what is said and I am able to respond with correct grammar and ''flow'' while talking.
My definition (below) of fluency comes from a really long article I wrote, in which I explain it more thoroughly, and explore what it actually means for language learning, but here it is, just the definition:
"Fluency is when the language forms the bulk of one’s immediate thought pattern and can be used to assimilate concepts as they are heard, read or remembered while also forming new thoughts using the structure of the language. Thus if the thoughts should be spoken aloud, the mouth is only required to vocalise what already exists or is currently being thought upon. In other words: the language and the thought are the same process."
Hey man, I know that you sent me a private message to my gmail account about meeting in Australia, but I cannot find it anymore, could you please send it to me again? I am so busy that it is getting more and more difficult to deal with the ton of emails that land on my email box every day and if I procrastinate even a little bit I have a hard time catching up. I will try to get back to you as soon as I receive your message =) Peace and love! Luca
5:34 I love this part. Each language is a massive ocean to explorr and find out. So true!
Thanks for uploading a new video😍
I agree a lot with this definition. For me fluency is being able to think in the language without translating the majority of what you are saying while also being able to comfortably communicate in the language.
What does fluency mean to you? Let me know in the comments!
By the way, I didn't realise you were saying "querulous", until you said it the second time. When I was a kid, I memorised a 1917 poem by Australian poet CJ Dennis (and it's SUPER LONG... I can't recite the whole thing because it's about 75 minutes, but I can do most of it), but there was a part:
"There were querulous dames who complained of the squash,
The pushing and squeezing, for briefly, all Gosh,
With its aunt and its wife stood agape in the ranks...
Excepting Sir Stodge and his satellite Swanks."
Hello, Luca. Your fluency with the English language is amazing. When I first heard you speak, I thought you were someone who had learned to speak it as a very young child who had grown up in America. One suggestion, if I may, is to learn the difference and proper usage of the words "Amount of" and "Number of." Many Americans don't understand the difference either, but it is a point that brings polish to ones writing and speaking. Thank you for reading this. You are truly an inspiration to those of us just beginning the journey.
For me, fluency is state when you don't care about how you speak and you concentrate on what you say
Well, it depends, some people will be fluent on a subject, because they use the vocabulary pretty much often. Moreover, that's why, you know, when we start talking about science, people say: "speak English please" .We were talking in English but there was not intersections between their knowledge of the subject, and English.....blabla, fluently is a hard subject
@globalicon2012 I'm not sure why you included " without hesitation and in free flowing way". I often have to slow/stop to ensure I put my point across in an appropriate way. Yes, with my friends I can say whatever but in a professional situation I can't just say what is on my mind without thinking it through first. Does this mean I'm not fluent?
I agreed almost on all what you ve said , i trust you very much when it comes to giving advice , because you are such a brilliant polyglot that i ve been following for many months so far
I would love to watch other videos related to the same subject " hacks of learning language"
Thanks
Luca Lampariello,one of the most accomplished polyglot I know.Fluency is about breathing the language,guys.I think everyone appreciates your videos and your thoughts Luca,so keep it up..you are doing pretty well.permit me a question:How much is listening important in learning languages?
I believe fluency starts at the intermediate level (B1) and increases as you keep working on the language. If I were to estimate that, I'd say 3k words is a safe number to start feeling confident.
Also, you have to know how to play with those words as highlighted by Luca.
Great vid!
I love your language-learning philosophy; thank you for sharing your valuable insights with us :)
I loved this! I'm learning to speak Italian right now! I know quite a bit already! I've been learning for years now (on my own, no schooling). I'm passionate about learning Italian! I would also love to learn Swedish, German, and some others! I really, really want to go to Italy, and be able to speak with everyone there! I just found your channel! So far, the first few videos I've watched, I love! I'm excited to dig into your channel more! Thank you for sharing! 👍
You inspired me Luca! I was not going to participate in my Portuguese meetup group tomorrow. Now, I'm really looking forward to it!
Ennervated is a perfectly cromulant word.
You misspelled the word "cromulent"! As you can see, the correct spelling is with an "e", not an "a".
Thank you for sharing your perspective with us. I always enjoy your videos, and I gain knowledge from watching them.
How come I've only seen this video now? I loved it. I'm going to send it to all my students. :) Thank you, Luca.
Hi Luca. Enjoying reading your tips. I reckon being relaxed when not using the mother tongue is a great help. One you let go of any mental stiffness and just let go, the confidence comes. I was raised bilingual in German and Polish and I still get the cases in Polish wrong! And as for all those Italian pronouns....Mama Mia! Keep the posts coming.
Great video luca! greetings
For me "fluency" or the "goal" to strive for when learning a language is to:
1) Understand 98-99% of the words I read or hear.
2) Be able to think in the target language
3) Be able to work my way around missing words.
More reasoning below:
1) That is a sweet spot when I can continue my journey without studying and just absorbing the content. And with that much vocabulary I am usually fairly familiar with the grammar.
2) To think in the target means I do not need to translate, that is (almost fluency). And it means I am familiar with the language, I made it my own, it is part of me now.
3) I do not know every single English word, and I do not know every word of my mother tongue. However, I can describe the words I am missing quite well. If i cannot remember the word _pepsin_, I can just say the enzyme that breaks down proteins into peptides in our stomach, and if I could not remember peptides, those would be just small fractions of proteins, or several amino-acids linked together:)
----
Anyway, it bothers me that some people have really low standard for fluency and they can get "fluent" in 3 months or less, but I just do not see that as fluency. Sure they can order food and discuss weather but they have hard time understanding anything outside of the few topics they studied. They manage to get their output to the level of their input, so their active vocabulary is nice, but it is painfully obvious in most longer conversations they are lost and that is not fluency to me. It is still impressive what they can do, do not get me wrong, but in my experience you simply need way more exposure to the language and some time for it to sink in.
@@compagniaelvira Well, I do not consider myself fluent in quantum physics:p Some topics are for me literally foreign language, because I miss the vocabulary and the deeper understanding of the subjects.
It is a huge difference whether you do not understand a word in every other sentence or every other paragraph or page. And sure it depends on the book, I think that languages are highly topical and you can be fluent in some areas and not fluent in others.
@@compagniaelvira Well, yes. I cannot hope to learn 980000 words to be fluent in every field that uses specialised vocabulary:)
@@compagniaelvira Well, all those words belong to specific categories and are rarely used outside of few contexts. It is not daily stuff or everyone. But yes learning it all takes time, but provides you with fluency in almost any context.
Hi, my name is Tymon and I'm from Poland. I have a very strange situation, because sometimes I can't express myself during the english course which I'm attending . However, if some tourists ask me about sth or when I'm talking to my Indian friend, something in my brain changes and then I'm feeling more confident and I can easily communicate with them. Is that normal?
Let me know if I've made any mistakes:)
While I honestly can give you no rule of the top of my head, "*E*nglish course *that* I'm attending."
Capital E for the learned subject, usually, and you use 'which' with a 'to' or 'from', but in all honesty, it's not common to use 'which' unless asking a question. If unsure, use 'that'.
"Which one should I choose?"
"The class that I attend." In this case, 'that' is optional, which is a weird quirk of English (oh, another time for 'which' is when you use an 'is' right after).
@@azuregriffin1116 Thank you so much 😀
@@azuregriffin1116 I agree that 'that' sounds better, but I'm pretty sure it's not wrong to use which in that sentence. It's a relative pronoun, they're used to give you more information on a word or a group of words. You use 'who' for people, 'which' for things and 'that' can be used for both. The 'which' used in this case is different from the ones you're describing.
[...] during the English course _which_ I'm attending.
In this case, 'which' is used to better describe the English course and it's interchangeable with 'that', but it's entirely optional as you said (now, if the sentence was '[...] the English course which is being attended by a lot of people' then the relative pronoun wouldn't be optional, you would definitely have to use it). It's a relative pronoun.
He wrote me a letter to _which_ I replied [...]
In this case, 'which' isn't interchangeable with 'that' because there's a 'to' before it (I don't know the specific rule for that though). Thus, 'which' is not a relative pronoun here.
_Which_ one should I choose?
In this case, 'which' is simply a question word. It just tells you that there are multiple options to choose from and it's obviously no relative pronoun.
To give you a few more examples of relative pronouns:
I like people _who_ are funny. (interchangeable with 'that', not optional)
I saw a movie _which_ I enjoyed. (interchangeable with 'that', optional)
I'm sitting on the couch _that_ is in the waiting room. (interchangeable with 'which', not optional)
@@xxyzxxyz690 yeah, you're right, I think. Merry Christmas (it's 1am here).
@@azuregriffin1116 thanks, Merry Christmas to you, too. (It's 2 am for me)
Мне очень нравится это видео!!
I know a lot of non-natives who are much more fluent than some natives, because they speak more quickly and confidently, even though their actual knowledge is poorer. Fluency is not equal to the knowledge of a language.
Frequency lists of words can help. The first 1000 or 2000 for example. ...
grande capolavoro Luca hai troppp ragione dobbiamo di lavorare di piu
Can’t thank you enough for your video. Thank you!
For me, fluency is the ability to maintain a conversation confidently, without much hesitation, on any topic that you are capable of in your mother tongue, especially in disputes. If you can use the language in a stressful situation, argue and defend your point of view, you are unquestionably fluent in this language.
Although I just started learning English, it's that I want to achieve.
My idea of fluent is the ability to learn new vocabulary and stuff without having a translation from your native language, so for example having the zebra animal word said to you, you don’t know what it means, so they then describe it to you in your target language so you can learn the new word as if you learned a new word in your mother tongue
@6:03 It is even worse. Even the smartest people know only a fraction of the knowledge in this world and it continues to expand. Even infinite live could not help to solve this conundrum. :)
The big problem with fluency is that it's so subjective, I agree with Luca we have the same idea of fluency. When people ask me if I am fluent in my languages I always want to ask what is their definition of fluency 😂
Yeah I'm fluent in like 10 different languages. Most of the time it's some lady cursing at me in her native tongue.
English has a million words. ( ?). Learn them all? Good luck with that ...
Fluency is not boring your interlocutor with your communication problems.
Great summary of what fluency means!! Thanks Luca!!
Fluency is a measure of your confidence in the language. The more confident you feel about your ability to use the language, the more fluent you are.
That's why alcohol makes you more fluent. We're all confident bastards when we've had a few 😉
I didn't even need subtitles to watch this video! Luca speaks so clearly! And I agree, there are definitely so much nuances to just encircle them in a single word as fluency. And this mindset is perfect for us (learners) to enjoy the process even more and to be more aware and smarter about our own learning path
But those were 3 myths, not 5...
The idea of fluency is hard to pin down. I'd choose the meaning of "fluent" given by the Cambridge dictionary: " to be able to speak (listen, write and read) a language easily and well, without many pauses" . Unfortunately, due to the marketing campaigns done on regular basis, we think that fluency = living in a foreign country for ,at least, 1 year and get a C1/C2 certificate. Fortunately, It doesn't work that way and everybody can reach fluency (or near fluency). I would highlight that some people think you know a language only when you are fluent in it but this idea is counterproductive to your own language learning, leaving you frustrated, confused and stagnant.
You are an excellent speaker of English!
Thanks for another great video Luca 🔝
Luca, very good as always. You did miss one expression though. Should be either, "This is not for the faint of heart" or "This is not for the faint hearted." You probably appreciate the positive feedback. It's a tricky expression. I also was one who used to think "fluent" meant being perfect. Fortunately, I was corrected by a RUclipsr who said what you said. It's about communicating well.
Many RUclipsrs talk about confidence, and say don't afraid of making mistakes. But we don't have to think about it. It's wasting your time. Because you will get fluent someday. We have to enjoy the process.
What is fluency? How does that differ from competence? And what are the definitions for those terms?
I would define competence as a level of mastery of the language such that you know all the vocabulary, grammar, idioms, such that every single word you utter is the absolutely correct word (very few native speakers can aspire to that!).
But there is also the metalanguage, an additional linguistical layer over the language itself. Mere pronunciation is a very minor part. There is also a pattern of intonations that come into play. So then one can be completely competent in a language without being fluent.
To my mind (which others could freely disagree with), to be fluent you would need to sound no different than a native speaker. Circa 1970, my father was a general contractor. One of his clients was a language professor, a native German so fluent in French that he taught French at the Sorbonne before WWII (by his own admission, English was one language he could never learn). During WWII, he trained our OSS agents to pass as native French. The more difficult part is the linguistical.
A striking example is the inn scene from "Inglourious Basterds", which is broken down linguistically at ruclips.net/video/tdjYpw_dZv0/видео.html . Basically, the British officer (played ironically by a German actor) was giving off many linguistical red flags long before his ill-begotten hand signal for "three". The point is that just sounding a little bit different from normal immediately identifies you as an outsider. Another example is an episode from the early 70's TV series, "The FBI", in which a foreign agent played by Hans Gudegas (renamed Eric Braeden) infiltratied the USA through a port of entry as coming off the ship, Tuscan Queen, but mispronouncing it as "tuskan".
By my understanding, "fluent" means that you can pass for a native speaker.
Fluency is being able to keep a normal conversation going with a native speaker without any real hesitation. Like you said though, there are degrees of fluency, if you will, but it would be more correct to say it´s like a gradient. There are people who under my relatively vague definition, would qualify as fluent, but their grammar would be crap. Then there is also the related question of the accent. You could certainly be fluent and even grammatically perfect, but still sound very foreign, perhaps even be hard to understand, because of your accent.
This is my experience: After learning german at school in Finland, my home country, and later English in different ways in Germany, I am now living in my country of origin again, I began to learn Italian on my own! I think i am fluent only in finnish and german, Englisch only well enough for traveling and for RUclips !
Hei! Opiskelen suomea koska haluan mennä Suomeen, ja tykkään oppia kieliä. Minusta, oppia suomen kielen on vähän vaikea mutta hauska paljon. Sorry for any mistakes, I'm still learning. Lots of respect for Finland. Terveisiä Filipiineiltä!
@@michaelrespicio5683 Damn I started learning Finnish two months ago and I understand like 20%
Congrats, Luca!!!! You're state of art!!!
Well, I think fluency is a way of communicating continuously, with no pauses, and without structural misunderstandings. My best regards!!
I've always thought of being bilingual as knowing each language almost equally well, while fluent people can carry on a conversation and express themselves in the language, watch and understand media in the language, but they don't know the language as well as someone who is bilingual. I have no reason for thinking that, it's just something I've always assumed.
This video is so encouraging!
Was wondering what you think about these devices one can speak into and have a quality interpretation, back and forth between two different language speakers. I think they are going to have an impact on the less critical interpreting community. And they will surely improve over time.
Hello Luca, how do you keep fluency in a language which is not your main focus at the time?
I'm learning German at Germany, but I need English in order to look for a job, unfortunately since I've been here for some months my English is not what it used to be. What would you recommend so I could recover some of my enlist level, and don't lose my German immersion experience. Thanks! PS my mother language is Spanish
I don't know what is fluency. I just hope I will reach it sooner or later. Until that day I think I can't speak English at all, even if a foreign comes to me for a few information about anything, I just say sorry I don't speak english :D
I even forget word in my own language
Early on in my foreign language studies, I figured out the benefit of learning the most commonly used words in that language. That mostly makes sense, except when it comes to the verbs.
I remember when we first learned the subjunctive in German. The subjunctive is little used in German with English using it only far less. All the verb forms in the subjunctive are extremely regular with the sole exception of the verb "sein", "to be", the single most commonly used verb of all. That was when we were taught a linguistical maxim that the most frequently used words are the ones that experience the most change. So the most frequently used verbs are the ones that will exhibit the most change and hence the most irregularities.
So when you study a list of the most frequently used verbs, you are also getting a list of the most irregular verbs. An attempt to simplify your study of the language just dragged you into the most complicated part of the language: the irregular verbs.
But, you still have to learn it!
Like one English teacher I know once said: 'a ver dime qué significa sicalíptico, hablante nativo del castellano'
Great video 👍
Just that it's faint-hearted and not fainted hearted
I think he meant to say "faint-hearted" or "faint of heart"
The most clear example on how knowing a certain amount of words doesn't mean that your are (or are not) fluent is when you compare natives speakers from different classes. The lower classes and with less acccess to education tend to have a limited vocabulary, but still they make their to express how they feel and still are native and by that fluent
we have a word Комбинация/Combinatsiya in Russian, with meaning exactly the same as in English
Luca, first, thanks for the vid. I liked it. Prolly that's not my business, but I really have to say that the same background color shirt that blends you into a wall doesn't fit you. It even hurts my eyes. Hard to distinguish on the picture. Apart from this, thanks. I share your ideas, you are an inspiration for me.
Very interesting, thank you.
I read your article. But when I want to leave a comment, it doesn’t send for some reason. Anyway, thanks for your content. I find it really valuable, professional and helpful.
For me, Fluency is communicating with a person openly with the other understanding a greater part of what you are saying without any problem.
Hey Luca what were those obscure English words you read off? I’m starting to think I’m not fluent in my mother tongue 😉
Am i the only one who thinks he sounds a little canadian?
I guess so, but with the exception of a few strong regional accents, americans and canadians sound so similar.
I have been exploring this concept of fluency and what it means to be “fluent”. To me, being fluent means confidently expressing our thoughts in a meaningful way with grammar and vocabulary that is appropriate in the given cultural context with barely any hesitation.
As some people pointed out, we may have more vocabulary knowledge in one language and not the other because we spent time in said language. So perhaps one component of fluency is being capable of combining words to form thoughtful and grammatically correct (with minute errors) sentences and phrases. After all, person A saying “He’s in the bathroom” is deemed more fluent than person B saying, “He bathroom.”
Thanks for the video!
Thanks Lucas!!!!! You always inspire me to keep on track of learning languages. But, how about „fluent but wrong“? I and probably you too don’t want to speak fluently but totally grammatically wrong, right?
I'm learning. You are a great influency. Sorry for the mistakes. Tks.
Luca! How to practice 4 languages on a regular basis to remain fluent in all? Give us tips please. Thanks
@0:16 Nobody speaks a language perfectly. :)
Thanks for this Video Luca is so clearly about the aim of learn a language.
I should have learned French first then Italian because to learn French when I speak fluent Italian affects the French accent that I love which is more feminine.
I think Italian is cuter.
@@azuregriffin1116 It's an individual and personality thing. French would complement as a type as Italian to me is too masculine to speak it.

Great job!
Luca, it looks like you are a floating head! Thanks for the video. Very informative.
""Spoken fluency is the linguistic ability combined with cultural awareness to confidently and smoothly communicate with native speakers in a meaningful way."- Luca Lampariello, 2019
this is the best meaning of fluency than I ever hear in my file
Excellent. Thank you
Love your videos
Thanks for the lovely comment Melantha :-) L
Luca, nobody could genuinely mistake you as a native speaker. Pronunciation of words like “nuanced”. Choice of words. Fluidity when expressing yourself. Your English is impressive but native level? Sorry, you don’t pass the Turing Test
And yet it happens every day ;-)
I'm sure people do mistake him for a native speaker all the time. Perhaps most don't, but does that really matter? Yes, we will pick up on his pronunciation and word choice peculiarities sometimes, but it doesn't take away from his ability to communicate his message. And, the topic here is *fluency,* not whether or not we can mistake him (or anyone else) as a native. Your comment about the *Turig* test is irrelevant... Which goes to show you have less of a command of the English language than Luca does.
@@cerenademe9433 fluency and fluidity are both valid English words. As for the Turing Test:
"The Turing test, developed by Alan Turing in 1950,"
I am a native speaker of English and I would believe that Luca was a native speaker.
One of the reasons I subscribed to Luca's channel was because of how impressed I was with his English pronounciation, accent, everything, all these things are goals of mine to achieve in a language I am currently learning so I will try to copy Luca's method!

@@ernestoaranda5855 what language do you speak before English
Scarcity Spanish. Learnt English through old class method in Peru at the age 13. Never got to speak fluently until now in my job. Practice english (when I come from work) 2-3 hours a day with a native speaker: I read a book out loud and this person corrects me. My goal: get to the native level. I am obsessed with this....
@@ernestoaranda5855 Best of luck with your English journey :)
English is my first language. My interest in learning other languages has never been sparked. Also, the thought of being required to learn a foreign language bores me big time!
John Clifford good for you, I don’t think everyone must learn another language. It is a passion, not an obligation(*☻-☻*)
Вам повезло, что весь мир учит английский, а не французский, например.
... So, what brings you here John?
