Now there is an Idea which should take off like wildfire ," an Inn for fluency"
I shall book in for a weekend of conviviality and conjugations .
Welcome mate , just watch the capitalisation at the beginning of a sentence
and the spelling , and "Inn " is a place of rest and merriment , but " in" is a
preposition . Best of luck , I shall give you a vote for a good try.

Where is this "inn" you speak of? I want the full spa treatment, if they aren't all booked. ![]()

Hi and welcome to the forum, please make a search on this site for former threads on this topic, you will find a lot of answers![]()
Fluency usually takes several years, but it depends on a lot of factors, too. It varies widely from individual to individual. I would say anywhere from 5 to 10 years would not be unusual.
But there could be cases where it could take fewer years or more years. It's really hard to tell.
Also, what is meant by "fluent" is difficult to pin down, too. So maybe by "fluent" you mean "speak almost as good as a native but with a slight accent and a few little mistakes here and there," which might take 10 to 15 years. But maybe you mean "be able to make myself fairly understood most of the time," which maybe you could accomplish in 6 months of extreme effort or maybe in 1 or 2 years of moderate effort.
In other words, it is a difficult question to answer.
