| Oct 7, 2022 at 18:18 | comment | added | Lambie | @Brandin You don't get it: the understanding of fluency is basically the same for native speakers. That does not mean that every fluent speaker is a native one. My point is that the characteristics I gave in my answer on ELU apply here to. There's no point arguing with me since I am an interpreter and know exactly what difference may exist between the two. But a YouTuber cannot show they are fluent speakers on their own. | |
