To me fluency has less to do with the size of your vocabulary or even being able to read the newspaper. I consider myself fluent if I can have a conversation without needing time to think. This obviously depends on the topic to a point but basically sharing an opinion or a viewpoint in everyday conversations is what I aim for.
This of course does require a pretty good sized vocabulary and good listening comprehension skills. I would put fluency at C1 personally. I suppose I kind of take it literally, fluency is reached when I can have a fluent conversation. To be fluency is very close to actually mastering a language.
Depending why someone is studying a language that may not be the goal. Anyways just my two cents. Sorr Andrea I have to disagree here. I believe most tourists never reach a strong A2. It took me a long time and hours of hard work yet you would say I have achieved a tourist level? To gain C1 took almost as long again and I learnt a lot but honestly what I learned after B2 has contributed almost nothing to my ability to have conversations about every day terms.
My 6 year old son is perfectly fluent in English, he can communicate with anyone and you could never ever say he has a tourist level of English. Would he pass a C1 exam or even a B2 exam? Never in a million years. I definitely agree with you on everything but the last part.
I belong to that minority of people who have a large passive vocabulary but cannot use it actively for fear of embarrassing themselves. Yes, I know it is unusual,but I am a teacher and therefore hate to know I might make a fool of myself mispronouncing a word or using a wrong one. Thus, I can say my level of understanding French is C1 for reading since I can read any novel, B1 for understanding natives speaking at a normal level and only A2 for speaking it.
Funny,though,when I simply had to speak Italian as none of the Italian teachers could understand English or French I had no problem, though I could barely utter simple sentences. But this was because I had never studied Italian and I had no high expectations from my speaking skills. Does this make any sense to you? I am agree with your disagreeing! Without the vocabulary you will hit so many roadblocks.
And that surely will not involve a few hundred words. I try not to use it. For example, I became pretty fluent in this limited sense in Spanish when I worked in food service. I had a background in French, a Spanish dictionary with a grammar reference, and coworkers who mostly spoke Spanish. But people understood me, I had fun even just speaking to myself! I have setences on anki. This post assumes that fluency and proficiency are synonymous. They are not.
Fluency means the amount of language coming out of your mouth or pen , not the amount that helps you accomplish your communicative goals. Proficiency is a better term. I can be quite proficient reading and writing in French, but I suck at speaking and I struggle to understand speech.
So my proficiency levels are different in the different skills. Yes there are differences in implication, but it is not possible to be proficient in a language without being able to speak it comfortably.
Fluency is far from a useless term, since it is the one most widely used, and generally most widely understood to mean proficiency. Of course you could specify that you are a proficient reader but not a proficient or fluent speaker but that is beside the point. When we talk about proficiency in a language or fluency in a language not otherwise specified, we mean the same thing. I agree with Steve. The language is said to have four rooms.
Understandig,speaking,reading and writing. Person may be in one or two rooms. However, when I went to Spain… It almost felt like home. You ought to be able to rate yourself and have a fair idea about your level of expertise or you can go through a self-assessment test to analyze your experience.
