I can read and write for the most sort but I definitely need to speak to people more to fully grasp the language. I’ve studied Spanish in middle and high school as well as college.

I also use various apps and have a new tutor.

I feel like I need to live in a Spanish speaking country to full be fluent though.

Help :damn;

I have this medical condition where I can only learn a new language when a beautiful woman is teaching it to me. That's why I hit up some penpal sites.Right now I've got this yakut girl teaching me Russian and this Spaniard girl built exactly the way I like it teaching me Spanish.
The accents :whew:

I'm retaining the knowledge way more than I did back when I used duolingo. Maybe interacting with people that fluently speak the language would be good for you.

There is a very wide spectrum of read and write bruh

Can I pick up a newspaper from Guatemala or Venezuela and give you to read? Would you be able to confidently discern, translate and explain articles in their entirety? In your own words in Spanish

Do you have a strong grasp of preterito, imperfecto, subjuntivo, por vs para, the ocean and pitfalls of passive se...

Spanish is a big language.....a lot bigger than english

Fluency is not a light claim

Depends on your level of immersion. You move somewhere, you probably can learn it in 2-3 months. Realistically, 1-2 years.

There's enough face to face online interaction apps where it should be easy for you to accomplish. They have language exchange type programs.
