This week we're answering a question from Eva about fluency and my thoughts on videos where people claim to be fluent within weeks. Here are my honest opinions.
The Hungarian news interview I mentioned can be seen here: https://lifetv.hu/teljes-adasok/2021/05/28/legszebb-nyelv-a-vilagon-elkepesztoen-beszel-magyarul-a-del-afrikai-lany/4007
For videos I've made about fluency before, take a look here:
When are you fluent in a language? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InsHG_lMcC0
How long does it take to be fluent? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oBd2xllMLY
What are your thoughts?
