[ Verbo ]

What is "fluency"?

Fluency refers to the ability to speak or write a language smoothly and effortlessly, with a natural flow of speech and minimal pauses or hesitations.

A fluent speaker can navigate conversations easily, understand and respond appropriately, and use a wide range of vocabulary and grammatical structures. Fluency can be developed through practice and exposure to the language in various contexts, such as conversations, reading, and writing. It is an important aspect of effective communication, as it enables individuals to convey their messages confidently and effectively.
