the quality of being able to speak or write very well and easily in a foreign language

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. In language learning, fluency encompasses not only the speed of communication but also the capacity to express thoughts and ideas clearly and coherently. 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.
