How Did YOU Get Fluent?

Firstly, I’d like to point out a fascinating thread over at Reddit discussing this exact question that has a lot of interesting responses and turned into a great discussion: How did you become fluent in another language?

Secondly, if you haven’t joined the language-learning subreddit on that site, you should, it’s worth joining just for that alone (and the people on reddit are awesome for the most part, by the way): /r/LanguageLearning

Thirdly, if YOU have ever learned another language to fluency (we’ll say “conversational fluency”, basically just to the point where you could readily converse with the natives about whatever) then I’d like to hear from you in the comments about how you managed to do that!

That’s it!  Short post today – I’m working on the upcoming Shakira post, 3rd in the series, plus I’ve got an article on verbal manners in Spanish in the works, those should be out within the next week or two.

How I learned Spanish on my own, from home, using free online resources in 6 months despite failing Spanish AND Russian in school

I've just put a very long post up on the front page with the whole sorted story about how I taught myself Spanish in 6 months using free online resources like music videos and TV shows, despite hating every language class I ever took and even failing two of them, and I tell you exactly how you can do the same, be sure to check it out HERE.

Also, if you like what you see here PLEASE SUBSCRIBE to my Twitter feed and/or RSS feed so you can be updated any time there’s a new post.

Cheers,
