- Have you ever come across a study that says fluency can be achieved with around 200 words or so?
Studies say native speakers use as few as 200, 300 words at the most to get by on daily basis. Those who believe fluency relies upon being a walking encyclopedia is quite mistaken. Fluency has more to do with finding as many uses as possible for one expession than the other way around. Book a class and come find out.
Best answer
It depends on which definition of fluency you use. Most people believe that fluency means vapid language with a severe case of verbosity. To be fluent means being able to convey what you want to say so that the listener can understand. As you said Rodrigo, you do not need to swallow a dictionary to be fluent, far from it! Listen to Native speakers in conversation, we use short words in various combinations to convey meaning. I don't believe that someone can be fluent with around 200 words or so, I do believe that fluency can be achieved with about 500-750 words and the knowledge of how to combine them to make a meaningful sentence.

I guess, that the best way to maintain students' motivation is to provide a variety of learning activities. Use new games, group discussions with controversial topics, different interactive resources (genially, wordwall, baamboozle) and authentic materials.

Nick⚡Maximize Your Potential, Exceed Expectations 💡 JUNIOR ➡ GENERAL ➡ ACADEMIC ➡ BUSINESS ENGLISH 🚀From my perspective, I believe that listening to music does not have any positive impact on enhancing spoken English skills. Even individuals who are native English speakers might misunderstand the intended message of the singer. Moreover, the pronunciation in songs can be peculiar. Singers often alter the way they pronounce their native language to fit the lyrics of the song. So if you enjoy the sound of English-language music, feel free to listen to it, but don't expect it to help you in communicating coherently in the language. Mark's point of view resonates with me, as I firmly believe that podcasts offer an excellent opportunity to enhance one's listening abilities. I suggest recording yourself summarizing the podcasts you've listened to in English, as this method can significantly boost fluency and allow you to track your progress over time. Cheers:)
