Fluency is defined as “being able to speak and write quickly or easily in a given language.” It comes from the Latin word fluentem meaning “to flow.”

When discussing the language skills of children in multilingual families, you occasionally come across the situation where a child has learnt to understand a language, but is unable (or unwilling) to speak it. The correct term is receptive bilingualism.

It is possible. I have had several students who do not have fluency in any language. In all cases, they emigrated at a critical age and had their education disrupted. Typically, the teachers assume that they speak the home language fluently and the parents think that they speak the language at school fluently.

Level B2: Basic Fluency Reaching B2 is generally considered by most people as having basic fluency. You’ll have a working vocabulary of around 4000 words.

Native speakers may not necessarily be fluent. But their language is natural and idiomatic with authentic accents, limited, of course, by their inborn flair for eloquence and education.

A native speaker is more than fluent—he correctly and easily uses his first language, in a proper sense as well as understands and can use colloquialisms, idioms and slang. with equal fluency.” Unless all languages are spoken with equal strength, the term “bilingual” really doesn’t apply.

Multilingualism. One can have two or more native languages, thus being a native bilingual or indeed multilingual. The order in which these languages are learned is not necessarily the order of proficiency.

It’s never too late to learn – if you go about it in the right way. Although you may face some extra difficulties at 30, 50 – or 90 – your brain still has an astonishing ability to learn and master many new skills, whatever your age.

So, to answer the question of “is 30 too old to start over?”: there is no such thing as “starting over.” There is re-creating, re-molding, re-inventing. And no one is ever too old to re-create themselves, to re-construct their lives in a way that is more suitable.

Common wisdom is that the older you get, the less able to learn you are. Recent research says that as long as the subject is healthy (e.g. no degenerative neural disease, no dementia), the ability to learn doesn’t appear to decline with age. Summing up, no skills are inherently harder to learn after age 30.

But when does our capacity to learn start declining? At what age is it harder to learn? It initially becomes harder to learn around the age of 12 because the chemicals in your brain change during puberty. Around the age of 25, your brain patterns solidify, and they will become harder to change.
